Agreed. Like probably every other politics board out there, this one is dysfunctional. Perhaps it's less so than most. Perhaps not.
In any event, it's not terribly satisfying posting here for anyone it seems - except for those who are infatuated with the sound of their own typing.

I think that speaks about where politics, in general, are today. It really isn't about developing an effective philosophy for change or problem solving. Its about yelling as loud as you can to get your point across. And then yelling some more so that you reach those who are indifferent. Arguing politics on the internet is pointless, just like arguing politics on bill o'reilly is pointless. It is entertainment where you get to assert moral superiority. Masturbation indeed. Anyone who was actually concerned with politics would be out doing activism, not having pointless arguments on the internet.
