It's all well until it's used to suppress an individual and inflate the hive mind. I truly believe that as long as the atmosphere here maintains a bipartisan attitude that it can end up becoming the status quo to allow individuals to have their due say as long as it legitimately contributes to discussion or content.
(ranting madly) I'm a Libertarian! I reject the bi-partisan dichotomy the left and the right would perpetuate for eternity! There is a third option!

Sadly, that happens on every site where everybody can vote
