Basically I'm looking for a heterodox political lemmy community where moderate opinions are valued and the level of discourse is pretty good. Where people are there to talk and there's not as much venting.

I would love such a thing, but you will only find echo chambers and snark.

One of the great tragedies of our time that people can't have dissenting views and still be civil.

really depends on what “dissenting views” means to you, though, doesn’t it?

[-] Pronell@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

It really does.

I try to be calm and provide supporting evidence as well as agree with the people I'm disagreeing with when I can.

I don't get many replies. Just downvotes, which is annoying as I really do want discussion.

Nah I think dissenting is pretty clear. If two people disagree then they have dissenting views.

Ok but theres a huge difference between a disagreement on precise tax brackets and a disagreement on racial superiority. Some opinions should be met with hostility

There's a big difference between "Well I see your point and think you're ignoring x/y/z." and "LMAO GFY."

Honestly when people use lol or any derivative in political discussions I just block now.
