Nope. You can only express yourself so long as the all powerful whales don't disagree with you. The second they do, you will be silenced with downvotes. It's a stealth censorship in all honesty. The example is right here in front of you. Berniesanders doesn't agree with Dan so he has decided to attack every single post that has the EOS tag whether that post is by a minnow, dolphin or hell.... Even a newbie. If that isn't a blatant abuse of power in censorship then I don't know what is.
I request that you do some research before you blindly support a tyrant.
I mean yes, if you support Bernie, you're pretty much guaranteed to be safe and sound and be protected by him and against his downvotes but if the masses are turned against him and you continue to support him, you will honestly just lose all respect. Please don't be a blind follower. Enlighten yourself before you jump the support bandwagon. Bernie needs to understand that what he's doing right now is WRONG no matter how you look at it. If he has issues with Dan then he needs to keep them limited to him and not let his ego attack everyone else on this platform.
