Honestly, I'm surprised to see such a political piece from YC, especially since most political links on HN get taken down within a few hours.

This one lasted less than half an hour on the front page, despite being written by the president of YC. Granted, that's about 29 minutes longer than other political posts last, but it's a pretty rough ride for something with > 200 upvotes.

Good analysis. We also penalized the thread the way we normally do for purely political stories.

Nice to see that the rules are applied consistently, news.ycombinator.com has earned many respect points
