Maybe so, but please don't post unsubstantive comments to HN. Especially not ideological flamebait slogans.

That seems rather biased, Dan. While the 'daily reminder' bit is snarky dismissing it as mere flamebait or soganeering is unjustified and veers into trying to control the discussion. It's quite relevant considering the context.

It simply repeats a slogan that's favored by one side of the ideological abyss and rejected by the other. Therefore there's only a single bit of information in it, the bit that signals which side the comment is on. An HN comment needs more than one bit of information to count as substantive.
