> So a single person decides they don’t like my comment

Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Note that many people read downvoted comments, and upvote them to counteract “unfair” downvotes. If you regularly get downvoted by more than -1, I would read it as a strong signal that you need to be more critical in how you present your thoughts.

I think that your comment deserves the downvotes (despite how factual it may be), because you are bringing in contentious subjects without sufficient nuance, and without tying them into the topic very well.

Don’t give up!
