Why not?

Because 1) we have to go there to 2) see it before it gets downvoted out of existance.

Which is a narrow window.

You must be new here. You can actually post in the Politics stream without scrolling through it.

You are new here.

You can click on my username to go to my profile.

Then you can see how long I've been here.

If you've been here more than a few days and don't understand how imgflip works then maybe you shouldn't post in Politics. You'll make us look bad, but you're the exception not the rule.

I post in politics about 1ce a week, as do a number of left or center memers . . . but you'll have to use the New view to catch it, because they, as whistlelock says, get downvoted immediately and disappear from the hot view.

I'm in it more to ruin some white supremacists days than for internet points, downvotes don't really matter to me.

downvotes don't affect your points, but the imgflip algorithm moves those memes down the page, so you have to switch to the New view (which a lot of people don't) or check back in constantly to see them before the downvote quicksand strikes.
