I hope we can have a civil HN discussion about this bill. I generally like Warren-style capitalism but am not sure yet what to think of this.
When an article (or comment) gets flagged, HN accounts with sufficient karma may have the opportunity to "vouch". I used that once for this article already.
This doesn't guarantee that the article will stay for long since there's an HN algo which tends to shuffle off pages with a lot of downvoting and flagging. (Which I think is a really nice feature, by the way. Thanks to the moderators for their good sense and hard work.)
ETA: And that also means that if you want to keep this discussion alive for a while, relentlessly downvoting posts which don't agree with your bent, even when civil and well-argued, is counterproductive. There are some great comments arguing against Warren right now that I hope will be rescued from the greys.
