What a bullshit conclusion
J/k I think the main reason is that angry people feel more urgency about their feelings than someone more rational.

I think an additional factor is the early comment effect. Early comments get more visibility and engagement, so if you want to push your goals, you can post a comment if you get there early enough. If you don’t get there quick enough and there’s already hundreds or more, then there’s no point in adding your own, if your goal is actually to help your political project.
Same reason I hypothesize that political extremists are more likely than other people to sort their social media posts by “new” instead of anything else.
