No R.

I joined this site recently hoping it might be a place to have serious, in depth discussions about politics. Many years ago, prior to the explosion of social media, we had discussion forums on the Internet where such debates and discussions occurred.

Unfortunately this site does not capture that spirit at all. Most of the posts and threads are not interesting at all because 95% of every thread is just partisans making simplistic partisan attacks against one another. The discussions have the tone and tenor of random Facebook comment arguments, no one argues in good faith or discusses anything in an intelligent way. While it certainly reflects the norm for political discourse in the 2020s, that was not what I was looking for and I advise anyone looking for a place to have serious discussions stay far away.
