HN has always had limitations to all posts- see second paragraph of the FAQ:
> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
I personally appreciate that political news is limited on HN. It's reasonable to create communities where things stay technical, just like many people don't discuss politics in the workplace.
Users are flagging your posts, and correctly so because you've been breaking the site guidelines. If you could please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stop doing this, we'd appreciate it.
HN is not a free-for-all site—it has a specific mandate, and users here need to abide by it. That means, among other things, not using the site for flamewar or for political or ideological battle. There's room to discuss topics with political overlap (see https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so... for past explanations), but only if the primary spirit of the discussion is intellectual curiosity and thoughtful exchange.
