Agreed. Without a downmod arrow, bitching about upmodding is part of the system. The idea is that if every political article degenerates into a bunch of people bitching that political articles shouldn't be posted, then eventually people will learn not to post political articles.

True. Even with a down arrow, it's not helped Reddit (helped == make me want to read the front page), hopefully the bitching is more effective.
