I'm still a big fan of making all elected officials wear NASCAR inspired suits with the patches of all of their corporate sponsors so we know who's actually talking when the elected person's mouth moves.

You can say his name, it's not like we're going to cause him to appear if we say his name 3 times.

You do tend to get Downvoted when you say it.

Depending on the thread I think it's either people annoyed that they're seeing his name at all, and people who don't like seeing their guy getting criticized, but either way the result is the same. HN does generally swing much righter than the rest of the internet, too.

Yes, that's an example of the obvious pandering that I left room for.
