I think the problem here is often not the ideology, but the way people go about it. I’m left-wing but I basically can’t stand to talk to other left-wingers about politics as they’re so sanctimonious, disrespectful, and hypocritical online. So the problem isn’t that a platform is left-wing, but rather that there’s left-wingers on it if you follow that logic. Please note I said if you follow the logic, not if you agree with it…before I get dog-piled on for saying something non-flattering about liberals.

Yea, it’s a problem with most people who’re heavily into politics these days I think. They’re more concerned with dunking on the people that don’t follow their beliefs than they are actually discussing issues. If they run into someone that isn’t part of their echo chamber they can’t handle it and start throwing insults.

Bingo. This is exactly the issue for me. The militant and intolerant attitudes and name calling. It’s deeply disappointing.
