Why was this story submitted? It's not Hacker News.

Yes, some people love to talk politics all day long, and there's nothing wrong with that. However, this isn't the proper forum.

The only reason I could think that it should go on HN is to demonstrate one of the worst user interfaces I have come across.

What is with all the boxes and shading that I can't get rid of on a regular computer? Mind blowingly bad.

Amazingly, some HN readers engage in B2G businesses and find the shutdown unbelievably relevant.

Any post asking "Why is this on HN?" is going to be automatically down-voted by those who believe that the parent commenter should have pressed the 'flag' button instead of commenting.

I usually only flag spam. I also posted the guidelines, so people reading the thread could read them. We are getting a lot of political threads these days, and I'm not sure new people understand that political posts aren't good.
