Recently, many of our anti-Zionists posts have been downvoted to oblivion by liberals. As hexberians realized a while back, downvotes only help liberals since they are more numerous and they don’t need to engage in discourse. I am proposing to just get rid of downvotes and instead engage in discourse on content that we disagree on.

Instead of downvoting, could you just ignore their comment? Libs take way more advantage of downvotes to sway the algorithm their way than we do and they use downvotes against us way more than we use downvotes against them. Aren’t we better than them?

The issue is that ignoring them appears as tacit approval to those not in the know.
