I think it is relevant to hackers. It might not be hacker-specific, but it significantly affects all kinds of things, many IP related.

You could say that about basically any politics story - the point is that when politics are involved, discussions like this one happen. Politics has made Reddit's frontpage basically unreadable to me, and I would hate to see that happen here.

It's not more relevant to hackers than other people. It's very relevant to hackers, miners, accountants, lawyers and everyone else. That's a good sign that it's not "hacker news". The key factor is relative importance, not absolute importance.

All I'm saying is the outcome of a presidential election is a legitimate exception to the politics rule. The rest, sure, it's irrelevant to hacker news. I stand by my downvoted opinions.

I think in an idealized HN, even the outcome of the Presidential Election wouldn't get upvoted, although I'm sure that in the real HN it probably will.
