Yea, I got tired of people attempting to make comments like this and wrote a script to quickly analyze past comment history to see if they were truly being honest.

You have consistently and reliably posted your political views here. Please don't try to pretend that you hate the political discourse now that people are critical of your guy.

I feel like you could put posters through a sentiment analysis and maybe use that to write a browser plugin to annotate posters on hn.

Ok, but do you want American politics discussion on HN or not? Why the purity test?

First not my guy. I'm not left enough to vote for Trump. Second I can both flag and comment as I did here.

> I'm not left enough to vote for Trump

What can this sentence possibly even mean. Trump is left to you?

[grandempire]

You should learn more about the political landscape. It will clear up a lot of these questions. And I mean that sincerely. If you see everything as left or right it’s quite confusing.

[throwawa14223]

Yes that's correct. He's been in office four years prior so we know his record.

There's this growing sentiment among some Republicans that Trump isn't conservative enough and that Democrats, a centrist party relative to most developed nations, are left wing lunatics/socialists/communists.
