There are a lot of people here who reflexively flag anything remotely close to US politics.

If this post was flagged only by users, wouldn't I see the "vouch" link/button, as a user who has that power? I do not see that link on this post.

Genuine question. I have always wondered about this.

I’ve only seen the vouch link show up for things that are [flagged][dead]

Yeah, I vaguely remember dang saying that they might consider allowing users to unflag posts, but I think he did confirm that currently flagging cannot be undone by non-moderator users. Currently the site errs on the side of flagging for that reason. I think there was a tweet from pg saying that they were talking about the possibility of giving unflagging rights to karma users with dang, but I'm going completely off memory here.

Good point. I don't see it either, whereas I normally do.

It has to be [flagged][dead] to vouch from what I understand.
