Crying about “brigading” is the most Reddit thing one can possibly do

What am I supposed to do when I see political content I agree with? Am I supposed to avoid interacting with it? If I see something I find disagreeable, am I also supposed to ignore it? How am I supposed to interact with political content? We’re not doing any kind of malicious manipulation. You make it sound like we’re hackers unfairly using the website and that’s not happening. We upvote things we see that we like. We can’t downvote, since our admins disabled downvoting. We comment on political stuff we don’t like.
Am I just not supposed to be here at all?

Brigading is when people comment on a post on their front page but I don’t like their opinions. Someone has to do something about this!
Vote manipulation is when they are more popular than me.
