• 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.

Which of these options, in your opinion, are most important in a forum?
 
The core of any debate rests with the debators. How else might debate be created? I believe that if you are to have quality, expansive debate, you're going to need a large base of debators so that topics that interest a wide variety of people will receive a wide variety of answers. In having a larger people base, you will in turn create more interest in the individual if they recognize that by posting a topic or response that is their own, then they have the potential of hearing a lot of feedback from other debators since there exist so many numerically. There is no better way to improve the amount of quality, expansive debate than to create interest among a lot of people. That's how things in this country get changed, that's also how they should be discussed.
