Yea, that was the only place I could reliably have good discussions about political topics. Good meaning people actually debate shit instead of just expecting you to agree with their side and then throwing a tantrum when you don't and they can't explain why you're wrong. The fact that it wasn't an echo chamber was refreshing. Yea, you have to ignore a lot of right wing morons, but you have to ignore a lot of left wing morons everywhere else so it's not much different in that regard.
