Non US Election Zone?

3 pointsby IndySunvor 6 Jahren7 comments

I can't help noticing not a hint of election connected news here. I wasn't around for the last US election so maybe it's just the way it goes here.

Or it is not of any significance to my fellow readers?

Quite refreshing, and some respite, actually.

Note that "hide" only hides a post from your own view. It doesn't have any effect on what anyone else sees.

It also doesn't seem to work on Ask HN posts.

I've seen posts about the election on here. Mostly concerning legalization of drugs. I don't think they were flagged. I guess "new or interesting" can be subjective.
