Downvoting isn't the problem. Things that prevent voting are the problem.
Stickies, vote hiding, vote "munging", shadowbans for dissenters.

It's not black&white "disable downvotes" or "let them downvote any reasonable post or argument into oblivion until only their views were being seen.".
You can control for the latter without throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
