Personally, I lean socialist, but I’ve noticed an alarming trend where certain news articles, particularly those about third parties or differing viewpoints, are met with hostility.

What really surprised me was that the hate and vitriol I received from Democrat-leaning voters on Lemmy far outweighed anything I got from the Republicans.

Both sides seemed more interested in maintaining echo chambers than fostering real, open discussion.

The frustration I felt from trying to engage in genuine conversation with people who were more focused on shutting down opinions than debating them drove me to create this space.

So I wanted a community where we can post and discuss news from any political party—Democratic, Republican, Socialist, Libertarian, Green Party, and even smaller, lesser-known movements.

The constant bashing and shaming for simply posting about third parties made me realize that we need a platform where all voices, including those not aligned with the duopoly, can be heard without being drowned out by hate.

Ironically, the backlash from Democrat supporters on Lemmy has made me even more curious about Republican viewpoints, and I’m genuinely interested in hearing from a variety of political perspectives.

Politics Unfiltered is about breaking free from these one-sided conversations and embracing a truly diverse political community.

Everyone deserves the chance to express their ideas, no matter which side of the spectrum they fall on, and I want this community to reflect that.

So, thanks to all the haters! After being called an idiot so many times, I’ve decided to create a community where people can post even more of the articles you despise. Good job! :)

    You won’t reach your hourly post quota if you’re blathering at me.

      Well you keep the stats, so just update them as needed. I mean, you are that obsessed with me. Hey, how much do you think I’m getting paid since I am doing the work of an “entire team” after all. I wanna know what the going rate is for a russian troll farm employee avoiding the front lines!

      Do you think I’d have to pay taxes on that salary or…

        You don’t seem very good at math.

        (1080 + 2170)/(41*16) = 4.95 submissions per waking hour. Took 20 seconds. Your level of obsession is truly sad if not paid.

          I haven’t even talked math in this thread. Are you meaning to reply to another poster? I haven’t talked math with you.

              Well I don’t keep any stats on you, because I don’t care about you that much.

              But the fact that you are so obsessed with me that you like quoting math and numbers about me makes me fill with pride. Oh and laugh a lot. So thank you!

              So don’t stop now, comrade!

                Are you stupid enough to even see the math broken down into a very simple problem and then still consider it “keeping stats” or are you trolling as usual? It’s a fuckin mystery.

                  Yep, the fact that you went to the effort to break down, calculate, then post, is hilarious to me. Dude I haven’t looked up your profile. I have no idea when you signed up, and no idea how many posts.

                  You are not even close enough to being important enough for me to do that for. But hey, you def do that for me, so you think I am important.

                  And that is AWESOME! Thank you!!

                    Why don’t you elaborate on why I’m so unimportant. I’d like to see it
