This is a politics (and religion!) sub-forum on a forum originally made to sell a bot in a 15 year old video game. Considering there are much larger politics based forums that are troll fests, you shouldn't be surprised.
Let's also remember that very few people in this forum have a background in politics. The ones that do are either dicks who think they know more than they actually do, or don't post here very often. Which is probably a good thing, Internet politics forums are a sure fire way to disillusion someone with a Master's level education in Politics or Policy from ever believing democracy was even maybe a good idea.
So you have a shitty board, with stupid, uneducated posters, and you're surprised at the result.
