I downvoted you because the label is based on facts, not political views.

If you have evidence of the contrary please post it and I'll be happy to change my comment.



sort by: page size:

No idea why you are downvoted other than downvoters having different political opinions that ignore facts.

More likely being downvoted because facts go against your ideology.

Interesting that my first ever downvoted comment on this site is on a comment where I dispel political misinformation.

I can't understand the downvotes you got.

You pushed may be a bit on political stereotypes, but other than that you just stated the facts.


Speaking for myself, I downvoted not because you are factually wrong. I downvoted because your entire argument is whataboutism. It is irrelevant to the topic being discussed, and makes the entire debate worse for its presence.

Doesn’t look like it. Every time I present clear facts contrary to peoples’ political leanings and biases, they downvote.

I'm not sure why they downvoted you for telling the truth. Lots of ideological nonsense like that here.

I don't like to see comments labelling someone as disingenuous here. What I said was factual hence the downvote.

Sorry, but I think you should have spent that effort refuting the arguments - instead you just spread some kind of implicit-guilt-by-political-leaning ("look, this a right-wing site - obviously it's not even worth your effort to refute the claims"). That's not productive.

> Sorry you're getting downvoted.

Thanks for that.


Yeah downvote me, when confronted with a different set of facts, in the spirit of the free liberal society you advocate.

Folks, if you are going to downvote me, please explain why. I don't believe I have stated an opinion; I tried to stick to facts. If you think my facts are wrong, please actually correct me.

You're probably downvoted because of the difficulty some people have when the facts might possibly contradict their ideological motivations. It's a problem across the political spectrum. Nobody wants to know the truth. They want to push their narrative.

Yes, lets downvote the comment because it doesn't fit your personal opinion, even if it is confirmed by statistics.

It's sad that you are being downvoted. Nothing that you said was factually incorrect. People just want to squelch you because they don't like these facts and what they imply. Ideology is making things terrible for everybody.

You shouldn't be downvoted for sharing facts.

Downvotes seem to be accurate. My sources (some time ago) seem to have misinformed me.

I didn't downvote parent because I disagreed with them. I downvoted because I believe their statement is factually incorrect.

I downvoted because your comment struck me as not caring at all about the facts.

I downvoted you because that's not what was said.
