I dont know about other people but...
I have never down voted someone on here because I disagreed with them politically. I guess some people will just be trashy like that. I will say though, I love how steemit works vs something like twitter. I do honestly like the concept of people being forced to put their money where their mouth is. It kind of forces out the trash.
It also shows how weak minded that person is. Like you know damn well if I was rocking a million SP they wouldn't say shit. Probably would try to suck up to me and agree with everything I say. But since I am a safe target to attack they let it fly.
Not me though, I have standards.
