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! :)
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
Oh but see, you are so unimportant, there is nothing to elaborate on. I literally don’t care about anything you think or say, unless i get slightly curious and mention it.
I haven’t ever taken the effort to look you up. You just don’t matter to me. :)
“look me up” yeah I truly believe you write back repeatedly to reply but not click my name. Looks like I’m important enough for dozens of replies.
Correct. I have never clicked on your name, have no idea when you signed up, or how many posts. Because i don’t care.
Is that something you do? You argue with someone, so you click on their name to find out stats about them? Ewwww. Wierd.
I mean, you are totally welcome to do that, but yuck, obsess much?!
Replying even one time takes 5 times the effort of clicking a name. Which you have cared enough to do many many times today
Priorities, friend. I’m sorry you are so disappointed that you are not important enough for me to click on. And this conversation has done nothing to change my opinion of you. :/
