Here is the problem, people herd to communities that embrace their own ideology and beliefs. This has only gotten exponentially worse in the last four years.

Conservative / libertarian ideas are mostly downvoted, oppressed, blasted, brushed away on left leaning sites and left leaning ideology the same on conservative / libertarian sites. The echo chamber and mob mentality problem.

I don't think it's possible anymore to have thoughtful, intelligent political discussions online with both sides. There is just to much standing on the pedestal of moral political and ethical superiority.
