With that being said, Text doesn't convey intention or emotions, sadly. With that said, your reasoning (which I was unaware of) does change the context.
I still have a strong feeling that the opinion is a troll post, but I will restore.
Mod logs are a thing, but it was me
Your post: 
You then start acting obtuse (most of those comments are still on your profile, so I won't rehash)
What made me realize you were just trolling was this:
One user said
What about a carpenter who uses Parkside or Ryobi power tools? Why would I buy a kitchen table from a guy who uses interior tools? I think a carpenter should use something nicer like Makita tools.
which was their way to express how silly your point of view was. You replied with
Exactly! I've made that same exact argument in the past.
I'm 99% sure you're a troll.
Upvotes mean they agree the opinion is unpopular.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it’s something that’s widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Pinning this as the one non-meme post about the election.
VOTE
context on lessor evil rhetoric:
Dismissing 3rd party votes or ‘wasted votes on 3rd party’ is lessor evil rhetoric.
They defined what they consider it. By their definition, this doesn't apply.
The comment of yours they removed:
Who gives a fuck if it's actual democracy. Vote for whoever has the best shot of keeping the greater evil out of office, and use that time to sharpen your guillotine. Again, you don't need to pick just one.
The reason given:
Rule 4
Rule 4:
No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or ‘wasted votes on 3rd party’ is lessor evil rhetoric.
Instance-wide rule 4:
Do not post illegal content of any type. Do not engage in any activity that may encourage, facilitate or provide access to illegal transactions. Do not share or encourage the sharing of abusive or sexually suggestive content involving real or fictional minors. This also includes drawn, animated, generated and other content that does not depict real minors. Any violent or otherwise inappropriate behavior involving a minor will also always be strictly prohibited.
Based on what you said, compared to community rule 4 as well as instance rule 4, this is a PTB
Reported the mod team to the LW admins for review.
Because I didn't know, and OP didn't say, here's the topic
Maybe be less rude
The comments have went so far off the rules (and rails). Locking, because mods volunteer, and we've been flooded with reports for this post thread alone.
Your comment breaks no community/site-wide rule. That doesn't make it blatantly horrible.
What you're saying is "collective punishment is the way we should handle this".
Take your down-votes, and read the room next time.
They were posting a ton. As in "it looks scripted" amount
We remove something because it doesn't pass the smell test. You don't DM the mod staff asking for a review? We're human. Maybe it was a mistake.
Instead you nuke your old account, create an alt (ban evasion), and throw a hissy fit?
Bye, Felecia.

Time for you to cancel your Viagra refill. I mean, Viagra helps you match your image of a non-impotent cuck....
(I expect a removal/ban for this, but worth it)
they actually reported it for being not unpopular
It appears no changes this year. Now, there's nobody stopping you from creating a [META] post asking for rule changes.
Until next year, have fun, and stay unpopular!
