• This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

    We're in a bke boom

    The last one was in the early 70s. It started in Europe, anything with wheels was flying out the door. Now it's happening here. I am a cyclist. Bikes today are amazing. I have an electric bike with a 1/3 hp engine. It's not much, but at 69, it helps my old bod get up those hills. Every summer...

    I quit the Democrats in 1980. Can you quit them?

    Paperweight. "But it would be wrong to take this suggestion seriously. Don’t Burn This Book is not a serious work. It is, in fact, extremely lazy, bearing all the hallmarks of a project that was knocked together over a few wet weekends. Rubin loves to talk about ‘ideas’ as an abstraction, yet...

    Pelosi requiring masks for lawmakers at House hearings

    Recent research found masks to be even more effective than we thought. "He said combining widespread mask use with social distancing and some lockdown measures could be “an acceptable way of managing the pandemic and reopening economic activity” before the development of an effective vaccine...

    Define "Libertarianism"

    The Modern age started in the 1800s. As countries became capitalist, they found themselves doing more and more to keep the ball rolling. The best example is England, which was the first fully capitalist economy. But here works. After the Civil War, our agriculture was crap, and it got banned...

    US unemployment rate lowest since 1969

    Stiglitz is one of the best economists of the era. We could discuss the things Adam Smith and Karl Marx have in common, but that would require you knowing something.

    The Blue Wave Disaster in 2018.

    That's logically flawed. The question is whether it's accurate, and it is. Which is why you want to attack the source, not the message...

    US unemployment rate lowest since 1969

    Nope. The first chart in this article makes a good point: https://www.vox.com/2018/7/29/17627134/income-inequality-chart https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_9_8?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=stiglitz+price+of+inequality&sprefix=stiglitz%2Caps%2C200&crid=N7Z5QQM8DTEM

    Are private schools really better than public schools?

    1) Both. 2) That's an excuse for not doing better. Intellectually, this isn't all that hard. We could build the best public education system in the world. Politically, it's impossible. But that's our crazy politics, not the imagined limitations of minorities. We need to think of people as...

    Retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Says Brett Kavanaugh Should Not Be Confirmed: 'Pay Attention'

    Here is an extended excerpt of Ret. SC justice John Paul Stevens on why he opposes the nomination. It makes perfect sense. After that, there is a concise discussion of the situation by people with a clue. One, for example, was a staffer that worked on the Judiciary Committee. It's bizarre...

    More Than 500 Law Professors Condemn Kavanaugh For ‘Lack Of Judicial Temperament’

    None of that makes sense. Knowledge isn't worship, academics have nothing to do with costs, and they keep their jobs by doing research. It's a very old fallacy called 'Shoot the messenger'...
