Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

People don't want to discuss because rational, reasonable takes on politics are met with vitriol and anger. Those attacking don't actually want a discussion, they want to insult and feel morally superior.

I talk politics with those I've felt out first, who can come up against ideas they don't agree with and are willing to keep it as a discussion rather than an emotional, shit-slinging argument.

Just because people don't want to discuss politics with YOU doesn't mean they don't discuss it with others, and no, not just with people they agree with.
