It appears you have to sign in to like your comment. Is that right?
Yes, but it’s free and I think it’s worth it. The WP is one of the few lib MSM outlets that permits a free-wheeling comment discussion. By liking conservative comments, you keep them at the top and they are seen by thousands of libs and “moderates.” I probably click “like” 100X for every comment I actually post. Unless you get in a very early comment, they won’t get to the top. This time, I lucked out and had the first comment.
