Downvoting and running away was a reddit thing, now you are accountable for your downvotes.

I have the maturity to ask for answer when people react to what I say. My question about sorting posts out of @news and moving them to @USpolitics is perfectly legitimate. I'm glad that some people took the time to answer so we can have a discussion, but so far among the handful of people who had the courage to put up a written argument I've read nothing convincing me that this post has its place in @news rather than in politics.

If all you want is a copy of reddit then please go back to reddit.You will have a barrage of US political news all day long.

You need to take some time to consider your own response and whether or not that's something WE want on the fediverse. You can just as easily be blocked too, you know.

Block me, be my guest, at least you won't be able to downvote me on sight anymore.

Many of us won't block you. We will just see you and feel sad for you.

Doing things like calling out someone's post history or making a whiney edit about the people downvoting you are also reddit things. And that's the kind of behaviour you're exhibiting right here. You're being close minded and demanding that other people cater to your needs. Just like Americans shouldn't only concern themselves with their news, you too shouldn't only close yourself off and only care about your news. And if you don't like it, unsubscribe yourself.

Go touch some grass dude.

I'm not whining, I'm calling people out on their bullshit votes. @news is turning into political trash and you don't seem to care.

I'm not closed, I already posted about foreign countries. And if you are not happy with people calling you out on your bullshit then go back to reddit where you can downvote incognito.

You can turn this place to shit if you want to but I won't remain quiet about it, dude...

Okay, I've been staying out of this but now I just have to: what kind of extraordinary qualifications do you have to unilaterally decide which votes are valid and which are not? Is it as simple as any vote that disagrees with you is automatically "bullshit"?

Have you considered that people are just downvoting you and moving on because they feel that the flaws in your arguments are apparent enough that they can just click the down arrow without having to type a whole essay about it?

And really, why should anyone have to type out a whole response to justify clicking downvote? What makes your opinions so astronomically important that they deserve everyone's full intellectual energy or none at all?

Reddit has a solution to this. In addition to r/news there is r/worldnews, which prohibits US internal news/US politics. Something similar would be a good solution here too. Also, frankly, you have failed to explain how the article you're complaining about is politics rather than news. In the U.S. justices and judges are not politicians. Maybe they are where you live?
