          Because we don’t vote based on agreement but on “people should or shouldn’t see this.”

          It also has downvotes. And as @avidamoeba@lemmy.ca says, this isn’t Reddit. Up- and down-votes are not a popularity contest.

            Now it does. When I came, it stood at 8 upvotes.

            And while I expressed myself badly, the reason I downvoted is: I think it’s largely a bad take and I suspect there must be a more reasonable take on the finance union available somewhere.

              I don’t entirely disagree, and you may be right about the financial union. I’ve also downvoted this post because I think it’s a waste of space that no one should waste time on – unless they need even more convincing that Axel Springer is garbage. I was originally surprised at such a biased piece from Politico, largely because I forgot that they were sold out to Axel Springer.
