The HN is a large group of people with a range of views that maps to a normal distribution on most topics, with a slight skew to left-libertarianism. It's common for people to notice "too much" of what they dislike on HN, and then to think the site is dominated by that thing.

"Slight skew" is just your claim and opinion. We're both equally entitled to them. I'd be happy to look at actual data: try an anonymous poll on HN for political affiliation sometime. We both know that skew wouldn't be "slight".
Please don't make unfounded counter claims without evidence.
- Be kind. Don't be snarky.
- Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.
- Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes.
- Please don't post shallow dismissals
- Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle.
- Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.
- Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills.
