Use communities on lemm.ee which will have both left and right wing folk. Or if you want to avoid left altogether, Lemmy.world communities, and there are lots of them.

Lemm.ee is something we need to nurture. Great admins that try to avoid their personal biases.

"I don’t know how I was supposed to know you’re dyslexic, given that, oddly enough, you’ve spelled every other word correctly. In any case, you’re sitting in front of a computer (or holding one), which would allow you easily to check the spelling, dyslexic or not."

So you expect me to spend hours longer on my posts, to pretend I'm neurotypical because you don't feel neurodiverse people deserve to be imperfect. I think that is not the solution to the problem where folks like you who like to feel superior correcting spelling, is not that everyone should work around and accommodate you. Maybe, just maybe, picking up on errors, rather than the points is more than a little rude, and you need to work on yourself a bit.

"Every other Labour government - in fact, every social democratic government anywhere in the world - has come to power in the face of this kind of rhetoric. Yet, they generally do make a positive difference. Indeed, you must think they do, otherwise you wouldn’t be left wing."

Social democrat isn't left wing, when you're picking and choosing what bits that can be possible under common ownership, it's hard to distinguish from half-hearted liberalism.

"Three sentences, none of them true." Reeves actually said that there would be no increase in NHS funding without economic growth. I think it was a year ago. I'm assuming there has been a u-turn on that now election has kicked off, but just because they change their positions, doesn't mean it isn't true.

Nothing you have said will persuade anyone to vote Labour, and gaslighting people in to believing Labour won't win is simply dishonest.

I think we'll wrap this one up, as you're preaching gospel according to New New Labour and I ain't buying it. I hope you are ok when your unwavering faith in a dishonest man is tested.

I will thank you though. You helped me remember why I avoid political discussion online. It's just folk spouting rhetoric without any interest in what others are saying. It's the biggest waste of time, and it's impact it's miniscule.

Labour are polling for an absolute landslide. Any seat moving away from Labour works to that goal as there is no chance in hell of Tories winning.

Not sure when the American presidential logic applied to the UK. Each parliamentary seat makes a difference to the majority.

Do you think Kier is honest and treats those that disagree with him fairly?
