Do you think they should be doing something? If so, why? Why should political minorities get an uneven boost to their applications?

Side note: most people who apply to YC are probably not very public with their politics. Political minorities could do the same and not worry about repercussions for their beliefs.

They accept entrepreneurs on merit.

Get rid of downvotes. They serve no purpose but to chill free expression.

Secondly, stop thinking of free speech as a right that protects us from the Government. The Government is rarely the issue in the US. The free speech ethos should be something in my head that protects you from illiberal outbursts or actions on my part.
