If you hate PoliticsToo, then you shouldn’t downvote people for differing opinions.

then shouldn't up votes to?

My main contention is down votes hide comments and make it difficult to follow comment chains.

ok then that makes sense.

Actually, I would think upvotes and downvotes should and easily could be shown.
Hidden comments are easy enough to follow but not making them move to hidden would be better for continuity of reading a chain.

The politicsTOO special ed class loves to hold down vote parties, but that's none of my business.

Does that mean we should do that here?

Oh God, no. Absolutely not.
Either you believe in freedom of speech or you should keep your little bitch self away from people.

there isn't even a counter why do you care.

There are reasons.
But I charge $75 an hour to teach the nuances of imgflip. Got a valid credit card handy?
