Why are a good half of the questions in politics & government Y! answers so obviously bait or biased?

Some sites like this one are practically unfiltered and uncensored and that has advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes the valuable concepts are like a needle in a haystack. If you go on heavily censored sites like Quora the content is often more intelligent, but the censorship creates some lapses in what can be discussed or missing answers because the answer is too uncomfortable for some and may come off as offensive.

Russian troll farms teaches that technique to disrupt actual debate where ideas could be discussed and real progress could be made. Instead we must deal with children and trolls whose only purpose is to dirupt the conversation and keep us yelling at each other.

If you like wasting your time participating in political debate, then you need to find a different platform.

Welcome to politics.

This place is just a mirror that reflects the desired spin of both parties on a smaller scale.

Politics isn't just about government, it's about manipulating thoughts and feelings to accomplish certain long and short term goals.

Cool, what would you like to debate?

I am extremely fiscally conservative and tend to breka withthe Republicans when they overspend on the military and break with teh Dmeocrats when they overspend on... well everything else.

Why? Because before Reagan we taxed the top tier at 90%. WE brought in 18% of GDP. Now we bring in 18% of GDP. We spend about 24% of GDP. We need to reduce our spend by 1 TRILLION a year and the military costs around $650 Billion a year.

CLEARLY both sides have their heads up their butt, IMO.
