• This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

I know it cannot happen immediately.

How about subsections dedicated to 1) Democrats discussion 2) Republican Discussions 3) Independent / Other discussions


Just an insight. People on the same page discussing politics , where true discussion can be had with people whom think and believe alike. This would decrease the "Moaning and Griping" ; calling another user stupid, the arguing and disagreeing that occurs so much here. One person starts a thread on Democrats.....some conservative shoots it down. A Republican posts something.....some independent user is discrediting them in the first post.

I believe it will be a tremendous benefit to the site and cause the site to grow and be more informative ; and with greater use and discussion.

One of the great things about this site is the dissent. If you force people to only respond and discuss things with others of similar viewpoints, you end up with BORING.

How about a daycare center?
 
Confirmation bias clicks are not fun or even true debate. How, exactly, would a Mod even go about removing those that disagree with your "let's all just go along and get along" (or GTFO?) plan?

This, and every site like it, are here for entertainment only. I like this particular site because it's lightly moderated, compared to others. I reject the idea that it would be improved by more rules.
When you've been here longer you'll learn who to discount and ignore and who to read and engage with without resorting to more rules.
 
IIRC this has been suggested before and the answer was no then. I see nothing that would change that to a "yes". I'll certainly bring it up to the rest of the team for you but pretty sure its not going to happen. This is a debate site. Debate requires at least two opposing sides.
