Why is yahoo answers such an echo chamber of political ideas? ?

Whenever someone asks a political question it is usually just meant to provoke someone or just have people nod along with the OP and I dont see the point in that. It clearly isn't helping in the grand debate of whatever politics is trending at the time.

But when someone is genuinely looking for an answer, both sides come together to confuse them even more, never giving a proper explanation. Does anyone actually know what they want or need?

    Because it's an unmonitored chat board.

    For that matter, why do you think this is a legitimate question?  Talk about wasting people's time.  And how old are you?  As a female I DEFINITELY understand why you don't date.

    The politics section is polluted with RNC and Putin-paid trolls spewing right-wing/Republican lies, propaganda and disinformation.  For proof, hover over the names of the "answerers". Many of the ones spewing right-wing b.s. are brand new, level 1's and level 2's.  Now why would all of these "new" accounts be appearing here all of a sudden, and all spewing right-wing b.s.?  The answer is obvious.

    Yahoo! Answers exists purely for trolling.... the types of people who will troll their political beliefs online tend to be extremists. In fact, the trolling is so bad here that people claim it isn't trolling to list "facts". (facts like telling trans women that they're biologically male)
