re: I figured out why reddit's r/politics is such a liberal echo chamber cesspool

I find this board to actually be a pretty good one despite the lack of diversity of thought. If you are hypocritical in your opinions, you will be challenged. If you are illogical, incorrect, unfounded, bigoted, generalizing, trolling, insane, or otherwise posting a lack of substance, you will he challenged and ridiculed. The liberal posters often accuse the conservative posters of being stubborn, arrogant, and stupid, but i find that when the liberal minded posters put their assumptions aside and enter threads with the desire to enter into spirited, respectful, and informative debates, i'm often impressed at the breadth of conversation and civility of those debates. Even when we give each other a hard time, when we actually treat each other with repect as intelligent individuals who disagree rather than some evil or moronic enemy that must be defeated, we learn so much more about ourselves, our positions, each other, and the world around us. There's no reason we can't be civil...
