      You are all allowed to say whatever you want. Downvotes don’t mean anything but people disagreeing with you. It does not get you muted or banned.

      What it does do is push your posts to the bottom if they sort by Top or Hot. Obviously, people interact with a lot of your posts and not always in a negative way. But if it is upvotes you are after post this shit to hexbear. They’d love it over there.

      Here on world this is being downvoted mostly because primaries are over. We have Biden. The headline itself looks like a movement to discredit biden before the election. Its gonna net you downvotes from scrollers. These conversations, as another user pointed out, are demoralizing more than anything. If you want real change and for it to be tangeable, push your local election left first.

      Ding ding ding…

      What do we have for our winner?

      These downvoting clowns think just like Democrats: “Maybe if we ignore our problems and any criticisms of them, they’ll just go away”.

        Politics is a venue at which to solve problems. Democrats want to open it. Republicans want to close it down. The general election is over.

          Democrats don’t want to “open it” or else they wouldn’t be throwing elections just to keep progressives out of office.

      Lol we both had zero and in 6 minutes it went from -3 to -8 and not even a comment to attempt to even discuss this like real fucking people that’s scary.

      How is this any different then the right people?

        its ok. posts get seen and there has been some pretty decent, thoughtful discussion on some posts/threads.

        the reactionary downvotes are never nice to see, but the posts that manage to pull in deeper engagement still give me hope that its not just all tribal crap right now.
