I don’t have much of a problem either way as I don’t think I’ll be engaging in political discussion on this website past this post but it seems like any sort of non-left wing opinions or posts are immediately trashed on here. That’s fine. There’s clearly a more liberal audience here and that’s okay. I just don’t want Lemmy to become a echo chamber for any side and it seems to be that way when it comes to politics already.
Mostly making this post just to drum up discussion as I’m new here.
Edit: Thanks for the rational replies. I was expecting to get lit up for even mentioning this topic lol.
Honestly I think the more traditional side of the Democratic party serves the ‘conservative’ angle quite well. They’re the ones questioning spending and how we’ll pay for it, advocating for pro business policies and the like.
The Republican party no longer seems to bring anything of merit to the table, having fallen to Christian nationalism and policies of hate.
All political discussion in the United States takes place within and to the left of the Democratic Party. Any discussion to the right of that is based on pure fantasy and possibly some individuals unsuccessfully trying to ground the conversation in reality.
