Ask HN: Is discussion of wikileaks not allowed?

In reference to "HN users who are flagging political/US election-related topics in general"? By topics I mean submissions, not comments. I'm assuming the jokes you're referring to are in comments.

Comment flagging/up voting/down voting behavior is interesting as well, especially as I've seen discussion that voting behavior can indicate agreement (do I agree with the comment?) or substance (do I think the comment adds to the discussion?).

As for bias, I'm not ready to wade into that without more analysis of what's actually going on. It's too politically charged. I'm speculating about what I think is happening. Please don't read this as taking a position on the behavior itself.

No, I mean all these apps and sites that make jokes about Trump. They are in the front page for months. Only now the joke is starting to get back to people that threw it. Here from distance, I'm laughing off Clinton supporters. The most funny thing is that a lot of these stupid guys are famous in tech, and consider themselves smart.
