That's both an unfair and unwarranted response. First of all, there's been "karma bombing" of a variety of different forms by people of different political tribes here, the most prominent of course being Eugine_Nier and his sockpuppets systematic downvoting of all comments of people whose politics he disliked. Second of all, there's a big difference between karma bombing in the Eugine sense and people as individuals downvoting individual comments that are overly political. Third of all, part of the problem here is that AA shoves his politics into almost every single post even when the connection is at most very tenuous. I suspect I'm thought of by people here as more on the "left" but I'm pretty sure that if someone was throwing into comments asides about how the Republican party was racist or sexist, or similar remarks, I'd downvote that person and they'd end up in a pretty similar situation. Fourth of all, at least one user below has made clear that they have some sympathies with AA's viewpoints and downvoted him because the comment's quality and general politics made it not good content.

Arguing that this is about one side downvoting people from the other side really misses what is going on here.
