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.
Agreed.
There were far too many things that were obvious red flags/deal breakers about many of their candidates, and I have a very hard time reconciling that people who I thought were “decent” were able to still vote for that.
I don’t mind disagreeing on politics. But too much of the right-wing party’s agenda right now is focused on hate and bigotry, and the fact that so-called “conservatives” willingly vote for it is honestly terrifying.
