That and "please be civil". Naming the environment minister after the country's worst mass murderer is so uncivil that I'm surprised we have to have this conversation.
We're not interested in political rants on HN, so please refrain from practicing that genre on this site.

"Before you downvote, <rhetorical point here>" is just another variation of downvote-baiting, which the site guidelines ask you not to do. Going on about downvotes is in general a reliable marker of a bad comment. As the guidelines say, it does no good and makes boring reading.
