Is anyone on here serious when they debate politics, or is it more or less a game we play?

I’ll be honest, I like playing devil’s advocate and the debating part of politics is entertaining. But I get the feeling that some people on here seem to almost consider themselves prophets by the way they speak with unyielding certainty.

So my question is this: are you on here for the sake of debate or do you have an agenda, something you are trying to prove? I’m not judging, I was just curious. Thanks!

gws35 asked:


Republicans act only to benefit the wealthy.

Democrats act only to benefit the criminals.

Madoff is a Democrat. He’s wealthy, but he’s also a criminal. So he chose the Democrats.

So if politics is a contest between the wealthy and the criminals, do the wealthy criminals always win no matter what the outcome is?

dnbotte asked:


Nobody on here asks an actual, thoughtful, question about politics anymore. One that involves answerers to use their intellectual perspectives and evaluate an outcome and critically analyze the question’s context.

You’re right, this isn’t one of those questions, but perhaps this will inspire us to political scientists on here and not opinionated pundits who are loaded with biases and fallacies but lack logic, reason, and evidence.

MacUser1 asked:


Liberals who don’t even know me will often assume I am one of them by openly bashing Republicans. On the other hand, it’s pretty rare that I run into a conservative who assumes I agree with their politics.

Has anyone experienced this? Can anyone explain this phenomenon?

I am not here to bash or blame anyone, so I ask that you do the same. Please respond only if you can keep your answer civil and respectful. Thanks.
