I received my first big downvote the other day on my other account, it wasn't Bernie but the downvote killed the rep to -1. I had done nothing wrong and had only fulfilled my obligations that the account promised to fulfill as a resteemer. No idea why it was flagged. Looks like you got lucky here and didn't catch the bernie flag. Thanks for standing up for what's right. It seems there is a severe lack of that on steemit.
