Anyone know a good political forum? Looks like this here is going to die.

"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference."
Elie Wiesel (1928 – 2016)
In my experience, this forum is one of the least circlejerk-ish I've seen. That being said, I suggest r/neoliberal.
Find one where people have real names and can be punched. That tends to keep civility forefront and limit the most extreme excesses you are used to from the internet.
Simply doesnt exist due to posters being anonymous. People posting ridiculous stuff on political forums probably have to act out online because they're too scared to do so in real life.

Political left, right similarly motivated to avoid rival views
[...] we have an intolerance for ideas and evidence that don’t fit a certain ideology. I’m also not saying that we should restrict people to certain gender roles; I’m advocating for quite the opposite: treat people as individuals, not as just another member of their group (tribalism)..
No. There are a lot of "political" forums which are largely circle-jerks and extremists.
An academic forum is likely to be the best, but don't expect to get into one of those without being a member of a college/university or specific academic group.
Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.
Just, be kind.
I don't much like the new forum set up for OT. Now you have to go to two places.
It's not like people who don't want to talk about Trump had to open the Trump topics.

Now there will be a single forum for the Trump conspiracy theories!
That is what biased means. The moderator for this forum is someone who has avoided acknowledging the Great Leap Forward when arguing about communist genocides.
I'm not even defending communism as a concept. I'm not a communist. I'm pointing out that the 20th Century communist regimes almost exclusively sprang from Stalin's seizure of the Russian Revolution, and the totalitarianism he created as a response to and refutation of Marxist-Leninist principles. Pol Pot and Mao both patterned their own systems after Stalin's. As did Castro, to a certain extent, though Castro's revolution wasn't nearly as bloody.
That's one specific branch on a tree. One that's defined by totalitarianism. And the evils you can point to in each of those cases is almost entirely due to that totalitiarianism. That's the point. There's a weird need to blame the economic system, which is straight-up McCarthyist fearmongering, rather than recognizing the simple truth that totalitarianism is bad.
Correct, but there were nothing but fucking Trump treads with the same lefty circle jerking trump hating antifa supporters going over every fucking thing Trump does in his life.
Its the saddest shit I have seen on this forum since I joined.
Happy we finally have a sub forum for this shit so maybe some interesting shit can be posted again.
The person above me is a Trump supporter.
The saddest thing is you thinking anyone hating on Trump is the same lefty circle jerking trump hating antifa supporters and that Trump doesn't warrant this by being the dumb ape that he is. I literally begin my mornings these days by looking at the news "to see what idiocy Trump did" while I was asleep. It never fails. Every day a new embarassment for the US.
But that's not the good part. The good part is that people like you still defend him. :P
