Why? I see people on HN indiscriminating shitting on Republicans. Why can't take a shit on an idiot on the left?

Is that stated policy of HN that only people on the right can be shitted on?

No; the policy is that you must follow the site guidelines, even if others are breaking them.

We all perceive the other side as doing bad things more. That's a cognitive bias. To counteract it, we have to inhibit the impulse to stick it to the other side "equally". Does that make sense?
