I would love such a thing, but you will only find echo chambers and snark.

One of the great tragedies of our time that people can't have dissenting views and still be civil.

really depends on what “dissenting views” means to you, though, doesn’t it?

Pronell ,

It really does.

I try to be calm and provide supporting evidence as well as agree with the people I'm disagreeing with when I can.

I don't get many replies. Just downvotes, which is annoying as I really do want discussion.

From what I've seen so far, lemmy is pretty radical left. I doubt you'll find folks saying anything good about moderate opinions.

Pronell ,

I consider myself pretty far left and I find a lot of people here both insufferable and unable to hold a discussion without insults. And that's coming from people to the left of me.

It's hard, and I'm quickly going back to not talking about politics online. I'd hoped Lemmy would be a little better.

It also annoys me to no end that I have to defend Biden from people who have no political perspective.

Like the crime bill they attack him for that passed both houses with large bipartisan support.

It means NOTHING to retrospectively say the country was on a wrong path. He can't fix having done that, he can only do better. And by my liberal standards he's done fine.

So apparently this almost socialist is a moderate here. What the hell?
