I've blocked a shit ton of them...

The problem is once you do that, you start getting replies from accounts that have sat inactive for months and lots of your comments get multiple down votes immediately.

Because some apps make it very easy to switch between multiple accounts. And they really really really think people talking about this stuff is worse than the problem.

They want us to bury our heads in the sand and never criticize anyone with a D by their name.

Which is probably the worst thing we could do in a two party system.
