"it's called being smart"

this year there needs to be another option next to the downvote button.

1) Upvote

2) Downvote

3) User made a politically charged comment in a thread that has nothing to do with politics as a way to insert opinions.

As for what the third button does. I don't know. It doesn't really even have to do anything, it'd make me feel better just being able to count the appearances of such comments in every thread this election year.

A joke, of course, but only kind of.

To be honest, I was really on the fence about making that comment because of exactly this. It's that raw "slimy but legal so it's ok" attitude that I'm trying to capture.

It's unfortunate that a presidential candidate epitomizes that sentiment, but that's what comes to mind when I hear something like "It's just business".

Edit: now I need to go and rewatch "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room"

Click on a comment's timestamp, and you get the option to 'flag' it (requires a certain amount of karma though)

Wrong.

I don't think the parent comment was actually agreeing but instead of mocking Donald Trump's response to Hillary's comment about him not paying federal income tax. But I could be wrong.

I suspect the comment you replied to was also quoting Trump, specifically a moment during the first debate when he leaned into the mic and whispered "wrong" repeatedly to counter something Hillary had said. Surprisingly, I can't find the gif right now considering how rampant it was.

Atttibuting 1-word quotations is a guessing game, I might as well be...wrong

Was going to say that then I saw this!

And in the context of this conversation it's also anti-competitive.

Yes, it is. Does that mean it can't be bad?
