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. Registering for debate politics is necessary before posting. Register today to participate - it's free!

Why Did Zimmerman Shoot Martin?
None of the above. Zimmerman provoked Martin. Martin defended himself by beating up Zimmerman. After Martin stopped and got off of Zimmerman, Zimmerman was able to draw his gun and kill Martin out of anger. Regardless of the outcome, everything i ever heard from the trial leads me to believe... -

Do we still need the Electoral College in a literal sense?
After seeing the "Electors" do nothing about Trump, one must ask, "Under what circumstances would they EVER be needed?" If there was ever a time in American history to validate the need for the Electors, that time has just passed. Get rid of them. -

Who is the biggest threat to the US: ISIS or Russia?

But the idea that someone would pick ISIS is absolutely absurd. I am worried that we have grown so comfortable living under... -

Jail and Loss of Citizenship for Flag Burning?
Trump would need 66 Senators and 38 States to eliminate the First Amendment. Not a serious discussion. And since it is not a serious discussion... If I see someone burning a flag and I beat their ass... can I call that "My" expression of Free Speech? -

Appointing ‘Mad Dog’ Mattis to Lead the Pentagon Could Be Trump’s Best Decision

Should Trump Supporters/Voters Feel Guilty about Trump's win?
Of Course they should. Most voted based on emotion and almost all voted without any knowledge to speak of. We are now poised to lose Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare. We have lost the respect of all of our allies around the world. We have laid the framework to become far more divided...
