Comments on Lemmy tend to have a lot to say while offering a unique perspective. But most of the posts are boring and predictable, especially when it comes to politics.
I don't think politics is supposed to be entertaining or necessarily innovative, fam.
I agree. If we didn't have such evil floating around political power, it would be worthwhile to discuss more nuance. But because of the two party system, the state of the GOP, etc, the bad faith takes up all the oxygen in US politics. It sucks but I get it.
