WTH are you trying to say?

I think OP is referring to comment where multiple talking points are made, but you can’t selectively apply your upvote/downvote to specific parts of the comment. You either upvote it all, or downvote it all.

So if I start talking about how pineapple is ok on a pizza, a downvote for this take also means you downvote how I’m trying to clarify OP’s message.
