Why promote a site like Disscusionist when we know how important online is?

100. I defend good policy and attack bad policy

And let's face it the Republican party is the mother-lode of bad policy.

I'm interested in what happens more than I am in who does it or what the letter by their name might be.

Conservatives lose on the facts on most subjects, the trick is that you'll never get them to admit that so you have to demonstrate it to the lurkers, direct confrontation of the sort you seek does not do that.

I think you have a fundamental misapprehension of the dynamic of a site like DI.

Conservatives are trying to throw up a squid cloud of emotion, fear, anger, dark humor and so on and your goal should be to ignore that and home in on the facts.

Has it occurred to you that if a conservative wanted to dominate Discussionist he might try to discourage liberals from going over there to post and serve on juries?
