I appreciate discussions on politics with smart people that don't always agree with me. I don't want HN to turn into an echo chamber. I understand why people would choose not to see news about politics, and I am also frustrated by how frequently discourse about these important issues turns into personal attacks and uncivil discourse.
I second that these developments have immense repercussions in tech and in the lives of many of us (even those who live across the Atlantic such as myself).

All the more reason we should keep trying. These are important discussions and this place has some very smart people who can actually make a difference.
