You shouldn’t really be doing logic in your templates. Add a couple count methods to your Post model:

class Post(models.Model):
    account = models.ForeignKey(Account)
    message = models.CharField(max_length=1024)
    timestamp = models.DateTimeField('post timestamp')

    def upvote_count(self):
        return self.postvote_set.filter(vote=VOTE_CHOICES[0][0]).count()

    def downvote_count(self):
        return self.postvote_set.filter(vote=VOTE_CHOICES[1][0]).count()

Then use them in your template:

{% for post in posts %}
<div>Thumbs up count: {{ post.upvote_count }}</div>
<div>Thumbs down count: {{ post.downvote_count }}</div>
{% endfor %}
