The Politics board is a pretty one sided echo chamber from what I can see, but it does have value. Even if it doesnt do much to change anyones mind or affect the real world, it always helps to discuss the issues. Its a good way to view new sides of an argument that you may not have thought of, or look closely at arguments your opposition puts forth.
And occasionally my mind gets changed, after reading a really thoughtful well reasoned post, on a topic that I hadnt fully considered.
