We upvoted Singapore PM Lee Hsien Loong's sudoku solver[0], and he can hardly be described as being from the left.
Similarly, Rand Paul gets a lot of love on HN for his anti-surveillance and drug law reform stances, while Democrats like Clinton and Feinstein are criticized on crypto, and Obama on drones, prosecuting whistleblowers & crypto again.
I'd like to think that a large part of the HN community place issues and evidence above politics.
