It doesn't make sense for the same reasons that a 'Hacker news' for religion doesn't. People attracted in such topics are usually too invested emotionally in their personal beliefs to entertain the idea they might be wrong.

This is why any successful political community needs to be largely made up of people with the same beliefs, just like almost everyone at Hacker News believes the same thing about startups and are too emotionally invested to change their beliefs.
