What we really need is a forum for intelligent discussions. The fact is, a high percentage of the posts here are trolling, trying to needle the other side, rather than serious discussions about issues.
So should a moderate not post ar all in a republican or democratic subforum even if some of their views are aligned with one or other at the moment. Or will they be called trolls.
I am somewhat a fiscal conservative but a social liberal. The problem is that I might disagree with Warren's tax the rich but at the same time agree with Mayor Pete gay rights issues. I might support some form of health insurance that attempts to cover a majority of CITIZENS without giving free healthcare for all. I agree with lessening our dependence on fossil fuels without rushing it in 12 years or the world will end scenario.
I think a majority of members have moderate views like mine but we get drowned by a vocal minority from the right and left. I think we should leave things as they are. It is more entertaining that way.
I think instead of Republicans and Democrats, it should be Conservatives, Liberals, and Moderates. That would cover it all. I'm a very conservative Independent so could post in the conservative or sometimes moderate sections....
You think the moderators are too dumb to notice a troll? C-D forums are relatively free of trolls - the ones that pop up are dealt with. Even the ones hiding behind ghost accounts.
Now I'm sure I want the proposed forums. If nothing else, they'd be troll traps.
Why? Does arguing with someone with whom you disagree ideologically scare you?
Oh wait, I'm talking with a liberal, of course you would want me censored.

I manage to say exactly what I think here, always from a single account, while doing the best I can to conform to the TOS. And I think you should do the same.
That isn't trolling.
What you propose to do is trolling from a ghost account. Maybe you should review the TOS.

How does it censor you? The main forum still exists. A forum for the right would exists. And you would not be banned from going into a lib forum, just from trolling it.
How about a forum to discuss policy, since it's always about policy?
