From the site guidelines: <i>"If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."</i><p>Regardless what they actually say, political material like this is an excuse to start a tribal argument.<p>Nothing is going to be said here about health care or transatlantic relations that hasn't been repeated <i>ad nauseam</i> elsewhere, and the oppositional vibe lingers.<p>HN gets less useful for everyone as a result.
