The extreme right and the extreme left do the exact same thing.

How do you know you know someone is an extremist? They usually post stuff like you just did.

You came to the wrong place, lol. It's mostly about cheer-leading for "Team Red" and "Team Blue" here. If you are looking for high quality posters and objective, rational discussion, CD POC is not the place to be. I come here mostly for amusement.

Where would the fun in that be?

Conversations can be had here about that if you really want. I don't like echo chambers myself.

I don't see why city data couldn't just add to the subfoums.

While I'm not a fan of echo chambers, I wouldn't mind seeing more closely aligned thinkers seek to work out differences in a civil manner within their own sub-forums. That being said, I have little to no confidence that such sub-forums would be sufficiently troll-free for the experiment to work.

There wouldn’t be much to debate or discuss on a partisan subforum.

It would be 95% preaching to the choir and that’s it.

Why do you need a safe space where everyone agrees? Life is not like that.

Overall, I think conversations would be alot more interesting in partisan subforums
It is there, back about 40 pages.

So that here’s a place where discussion can occur without moronic right wing tropes like safe space used to try and jack threads.
