Because capitalism is burning the earth down for profit and if nothing is done we’re all dead soon ?

Because a majority of people are left sided. There’s a reason Trump hasn’t been able to win a popular vote, he’s not actually that popular. He might seem it in uneducated redneck towns, but it takes about 100 of those towns to match the population of a decent city, which typically votes left.

Capitalism and the right is literally against humanity for the benefit of the very few. You’ll wake up eventually

Because a lot of tech culture is based upon the idea of sharing things with people, of enabling others, of bringing down barriers, of helping other people reach their potential. This is why open source communities are so prevalent, and even commercial tech offerings are sold to us with these ideals.

And all that is antithetical to many right wing policies, which are often about creating barriers and unneccessary limitations. Like DeSantis’s Don’t Say Gay laws. Or the defunding of community services like educational institutes. Or placing barriers on voting.

Because capitalism is the problem, not the solution.

We just witnessed the hottest summer on record. This corroborates what scientists have said for decades, that emissions are bringing about ecological collapse. For those of us who possess a moral compass, this means we need people in leadership who are serious about saving the planet.

What are YOU doing to help, with your one vote?

If you vote right-wing, the simplest explanation is that you’re not forward-thinking enough to grasp the impending danger.

Do better, please. There are plenty of information sources out there.

To try to give you a genuine answer, perhaps because 1) Lemmy is a left leaning environment generally, 2) if you’re American, because the majority of the western and 1st world countries are dramatically more left leaning than the US (I live in Canada, and your democrats are more right wing than our main right wing political party)

Honest answer the right doesn’t seem to have any good positions now. They are against fighting climate change, against tolerance, anti-science, and they speak of fiscal responsibility but instead of tax and spend they just spend. They are way too much into mindless defiance and dirty politics. And they are the most hypocritical “do as I say, not as I do” party IMO.

older, wealthy, not so terminally online people are overrepresented amongst the political right. young people, who are typically less wealthy, and who identify more with things that have only recently become more socially acceptable, such as alternate sexuality or gender, are typically less served by the political right, and since they have a much larger online presence, the views they hold are much more accepted and voiced in most online spaces.

As it turns out Secular Egalitarian Representative Democracy itself has a Liberal bias, I mean it’s written right there in all the Constitutions across all the countries who practice it, who woulda thunk it, right?

Because the type of people satisfied with the status quo are not, in general, the kind of people who are early adopters of anything new.

I feel like the right is so damn far to the right, that everyone else appears to be on the left.

If it’s any consolation, due to its refuge nature, at any given time, !downvotedtooblivion@lemm.ee is going to be the opposite to the norm.

If only for awareness.

Because there are far more unemployed, basement dwelling neckbeards with enough time to whine on social media that everything wrong with the world is because of the Right.
