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! :)
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. :/
Then why do you reply. You have spent like 40 minutes of your day telling me fake shit.
I reply because you reply. We are having a conversation.
Hey, you’re not saying you don’t wanna have a conversation with me, are you? I mean, I felt we were getting soo close too.
You keep stats on me, I keep not caring about you. I thought we were making a good team. But is that not your intention? Are you saying you don’t like me?! Oh, man.
You prove you care. Can’t weasel out of it
Oh I love you. But I don’t care enough to look you up. Sorry!
