When you say you think you're pretty "middle of the road" do you mean reality middle of the road or Lemmy middle of the road? Because this websites average user is so far left that they can't even see the middle anymore due to the curvature of the earth.

Lol that's fair, but I'm pro2a, I'm fine with farmers getting handouts, and am cool with capitalism....but I also want single payer healthcare, workers rights, reforming the police and ending for-profit prisons, pro-choice, and putting more money into our schools and inner-citys, reducing poverty and homelessness with gov funds...so yea middle of the road is how I look at myself...

You sound alright man. We think similarly on all those topics. Too far left for the rightoids to put up with us but not left enough for many people to even speak to us around here.

I would say we need a "middle road" forum for people like us, but we both know that would just become flooded with far right bullshit because most of them have been banned from practically everything lol.

I think most of the rightwing are on X and that Truth social platform. Echo chambers for both sides are harmful, but at least here, people are willing to discuss stuff without the name calling. And a lot of the times even if they do disagree with me on this and some of them downvote my points, they at least keep it somewhat civil.
