I sat out the 1972 election between Nixon and Humphrey. Many sat out 2000 and 2016 elections. Here are the consequences.

Eh, I don't sweat votes most of the time, but I agree with you. It shouldn't be a dislike/disagree button at all on a C/ like this. Defeats the entire purpose.

It's nothing I'd complain about for myself, but it would be offputting to anyone that does care about votes, or just wants to have varied discussions in a grossly friendly environment without getting buried by being disagreed with.
