Always quoting the rules to those who care about democracy in America, never allowing this type of discussion because it's "not for HN". Well, when does it get so bad politically that anyone here cares? This place is overrun by reactionaries, even mods are clearly biased, there isn't even a mod log you can point to for evidence you are not. I am afraid HN could be becoming the "nazi bar" by modern standards, because everyone is so hung up on technicalities and ignoring the reality of the world right now.

HN is not ignoring the reality of the world right now. There are heavily voted/commented stories about U.S. politics all the time here.
Sentiment here is overwhelmingly against the U.S. administration, which is is probably why there are more anti-administration comments to moderate. Still, I’ve written in response to comments from the other side of the spectrum in the past couple of hours and several times in recent days.
But we never moderate in favour of a side or specific agenda. We moderate the comments that are flagged, clearly bad, or pointed out to us for being against the guidelines.
The topic of bias has been covered here for years.
