We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

It's almost like conservatism isn't able to compete in a true free market of ideas.
Dude you've been posting shit like breitbart here. You don't actually care about quality or facts.
Banning posts that are critical of conservatism is not "diversity of thought".
tbh it makes sense that the right wingers’ channel may need a tag to discern satire from reality.
Even when I post stuff directly from amnesty international, it gets downvoted. https://lemm.ee/post/12963343?scrollToComments=true
Downvotes are not about source. It's about agree/disagree.
Also you can't read minds.
Which is why I added "on a site scale" which you conveniently didn't copy over. This sub doesn't exist in a vacuum, there's plenty of places for lefty content, and you can subscribe to both. Like the .world sub.
Its a bit like saying a cat sub should also have dog posts. Theres a place for dogs, and theres a place for cats. You don't need to muddy the waters.
Because this is c/conservative, and like I said, conservatism is incapable of competing in a true, free market of ideas.
No, but I guarantee you that I read way more liberal comments than you do.
For some people it will be.
No it's not, because dog/cat topics don't influence votes, which have immense, real world consequences.
Im not going to bother with the rest, its not worth the effort, but
This sub has 44 subscribers and 68 users/month. Thats not immense by any stretch of the imagination.
Reddit's r/conservative started out at a similarly low sub count.
In any case, its not immense now, and I think its good for lemmy. Has /r/conservative lead to anything bad?
It definitely contributed toward's Trump's presidency to say the least.
That wasn't a bad thing, aside from bumpstocks.
If you haven't already seen the Trump administration for what it was, nothing could ever convince you no matter how bad that administration's actions. You are blind to the truth.
