Because politics is not allowed on HN.
EDIT: So politics and off-topic content is allowed? I'm not sure if down voters have read the HN guidelines.

The HN guidelines do not say that "politics is not allowed" (indeed, HN tried a rule like that as an experiment a while back and it went quite badly), so it's a bit more complicated. (and other people already have made good arguments why the wording that's actually in the rules would apply here, long before your comment)
regardless, politics incites flamewars on HN degrading the conversation, perhaps they should revisit this rule.
it shouldn't be allowed
