> Even here on HN any attempt at putting forth the wrong opinion on the election will result in a ban.

I haven't seen this, all the bans I have seen are the result of ideological warfare and flamebait.

However you will get downvoted to -4 for questioning the integrity of the election. So don't do that ;)

You think you don’t have a voice, I cannot even downvote

you have to earn it by accumulating a certain karma though contributions that are upvoted by the community. I can downvote but I can't downvote replies to me, and for some poorly understood reason, sometimes I just can't downvote even though I have not yet participated in the thread.

I am aware, but my contributions don’t merit enough karma, so I wander forever.

I'm sorry to hear that buddy.
