It used to be a fairly intelligent group but now almost all that is gone.
What happened and why?

It has been about 10 years for me...I think 2007 was when political was born (as a debate on a proposed horse "track on 301)
Right now, it is not enjoyable, informative or anything we should get out of political discussion.
Nobody can take the high road. I admit, I got bogged down, but I think what I am constantly mocked about...sharing our reading and hopefully morph into conversation....Is a good thing. I stopped the last few days and keep being asked to inks.
My believe is that many persons use this as entertainment, and will simply hijack every thread. Everyone should offer credence or their views, but alas.
I know you have been around on here for years also. Recall, he Russian websites and fake news sites didn't exist and thus the fodder for much of this did not exist.
It is discouraging...I m tired of being lectured
