That is all that needs to be said. PH is a Leftist echo chamber. Moderation is based on the poster's political perspective much of the time and Leftist is the preferred perspective.
Member since 2006. It doesn't matter what your political leanings are, because this forum's staff has double standards and extremely bad attitudes. Rules aren't posted clearly and in some cases aren't even written down, and staff doesn't have to follow them if they don't want to. Consequently, members frequently attack each other in vicious ways. Staff gets to do this as much as they want with no consequences. No insult is off limits, and no personal attack is too vile. Admins are called "council hall" and they've held their positions for years and can't be arsed to do their jobs anymore. The "grievance process" is just a modified contact form that forwards to the council halls' personal emails, and no record is ever kept of the outcome. The owner of the forum only comes around about twice a year, and cares for nothing but advertising revenue. Speaking of ads, you'd better have some good antimalware, because there are a couple dozen ads on every page from some seriously sketchy sources. Sometimes you pick up a browser hijacker from them. This forum used to be one of the best around, but over the years as people stopped caring about how it's run, it's turned into just another kennel of barking dogs. If you like 4chan, you'll *love* PH. Participate at your own risk.
Troll after troll after troll. Nothing substantial in the way of political debate. Moderators overwhelmingly on the left. Any conservative will be trolled to death.

Her is a picture of my dog.
I like forum rules, except for the one time me got in trouble and had to do early bedtime. Most people very good, others are bad, very bad. Me no name names!
It would appear Political Hotwire is awash with many immature left wing members. Having stumbled across this forum from an internet search, my only advice to anyone is to avoid the place.
Isn't it ironic that those who complain about the moderation at this site being biased are themselves biased?
There's some transparency for ya!
This site is well run by a 3 member Council, along with a Software expert!
The rules are laid out well. Moderation Is fair by called on members.
Fringe left wing site that's entertaining for about 10 minutes. Echo chambers are boring. Biased moderation, extreme trolling.
Seems the site is favored to a member named Rev HellH0und who works with a Mod to bait and ban.
Over moderated site.
Answer: While not a true "scam company" the site's sole purpose after being bought by "chip" (real name hidden) is to datamine your personal information. If you cross the staff there, there is at least one staff member with a history of doxxing posters and sharing personal information about other members with other members who then harass you in real life. It's a toxic environment that you should stay away from
Answer: I'm a lot smarter about politics. People even say, "Wow, Nick, you're really well informed!" That feels good.
