Just because you contribute doesn't make your freedom to argue about politics greater than that same freedom of other users, whether they contribute or not.
Should put an asterisks there. A brand new account joining in a political discourse with some hot takes to rile up people shouldn't be held equally to other users, since most of those accounts are purely used for trolling purposes (not the case here, but there are past cases). More so if they're reviving a comment thread that has already died down.
