That's not allowed here, even in an off-topic political flamewar. Please read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

Hi dang. I unreservedly apologize. Can you please tell me which rule I broke. Maybe it was interpreted as being sarcasm but I meant it in ernest, but I accept brining it to your attention your have been a better course of action.

Oh, I mean the rule against insinuating that other users are astroturfers or shills: "Please don't impute astroturfing or shillage. That degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about it, email us and we'll look at the data."

It's not that such things don't exist, but they're much less common than people jumping to the conclusion that someone they disagree with isn't posting in good faith. I've written tons about this if you or anyone wants to read more:
