Beyond that, I'd need to see specific links. Nearly always when people ask about this kind of thing, they want us to ban the site not because it's political but because its politics are the opposite of their own. That motivation isn't in keeping with the intended spirit of curiosity (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), and it's not how we look at moderation. The issue is whether a site occasionally produces a substantive article that gratifies curiosity and that can support a solid HN thread.
By the way, speaking of the HN guidelines, they specifically ask you not to post like this, but rather to send such questions to hn@ycombinator.com.
