    Said it once said it a million times: votes need to be public. It's WAY too easy to brigade and vote manipulate.

    Because if you say something normal and rational then a bunch of nazis come by and completely clobber what you said, people aren't just going to think for themselves and say "wait, this guy is right" they're going to say "wow this comment has -990 score, must be wrong" Now the intended takeaway is the exact opposite of whatever point I made.
