Why? I see people on HN indiscriminating shitting on Republicans. Why can't take a shit on an idiot on the left?

- dang 7y agoNo; the policy is that you must follow the site guidelines, even if others are breaking them. We all perceive the other side as doing bad things more. That's a cognitive bias. To counteract it, we have to inhibit the impulse to stick it to the other side "equally".
