Politics on the internet seem to always end the same. Almost no one is a qualified politician here, but we act like we are. We give sources, but only sources from one side. I'm starting to wonder the usefulness of debating politics here.

It is like a SuperNews clip on Twitter.  You want to believe the world receives your views and is enlightened by them, but you really don't care what other opinions people have.  For myself, I do want a range of opinions, and articles to go with it, so I can improve where I stand.

I am very likely, after this election, to step out even further from political office chat and maybe discuss things of greater practical value.


Sometimes their sources are complete BS.  Sometimes they misinterpret their own sources.  For real, a lot of people anywhere seem to not know what they really believe.  My parents are that way, and a large percentage of posts I see online involving politics are that way.  When evidence is provided that proves a point on the opposing side has validity, it is shot down vehemently.  They start acting as if they have all the qualifications to say that your evidence doesn't count.
