That's the problem with any social network that allows this. Upvoting and downvoting has less to do with whether a comment is correct or true, and more about whether the hivemind behind the community agrees with it.
A great example would be reddit - try posting something there praising a conservative candidate and see how well you do. Then, try posting something praising Bernie Sanders and watch as you ride the wave of upvotes to the front page.
Nothing to do about the correctness of the content. Everything to do with whether the hivemind agrees.
