Talking continually about politics is against the HN guidelines.

Politics and tech are basically intertwined at this point. Tech is also intertwined with Geo-politics, tax policies, mental health, and a bunch of other issues.

One cannot talk about tech without talking inevitably of the second or third order effects that derive from it which is again almost inevitably linked to politics either in the US or elsewhere.

Despite that fact, it's against HN guidelines to talk about it. You can read between the lines of this.

It's against HN guidelines to descend into rabid partisan reflexive unthinking back and forth noise.

If you can curiously converse about politics while avoiding that, you're golden.

Admittedly that's a stretch for a good many.
