HN doesn't tolerate any kind of superficial political story, and this one, about a campaign tweet, is more superficial than most. But your contributions to this thread are a good illustration of why people reflexively flag stories about this controversy: HN is an engine for generating conversations, and we've seen what kinds of conversation we get when it's fueled this way.

You clearly don't speak for the people upvoting this post.

All 12 of them.

Well it got flagged and was never allowed to hit the front page so I’d say 12 is pretty good. There’s only one of you saying this.

Mmm. Well, people can make up their own minds about what's happening.

Except they can’t since it’s censored. Are you adding anything to this conversation? Seems like you’re just complaining and being negative.

No, it isn't.

I mean yes, it literally is. How can people make up their mind if they can’t even see it? You’re being very argumentative. If you don’t agree, that’s your decision, you don’t need to come into the thread and promote censorship.

You don’t speak for all of HN. You’re also very biased a this topic and have added nothing but derision to this thread.
