So do post politcs somewhere and is that new someone a place where most of the people agree with you?
Currently I don't post anywhere, due to various ongoing issues in my life. When I do post, it is largely on religious and gender matters in the XKCD forums. Being a Christian, I am vastly in the minority in that community. On issues of gender, I am somewhere in the middle. More than being an echochamber, it is a discussion board with active moderation in which certain rules of debate are very heavily enforced. The discussion we have been having would have been deleted long before it reached this point.
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

/Survey: If this place had a separate politics board like several other sites do, what would happen?

I remain unconvinced a few voices can drown out the rest in an internet environment.

All the political crap would go there, like it does on those other sites.

Perhaps some might feel more comfortable posting if it were separate?

Probably the easiest solution is to have a filter instead, save the new board for a "Writers Board"

There are actually a number of simple and effective solutions if this really bugs people

There is a reason we are seeing so much complaining about politics form certain people

Then you should know there are fewer conservatives on the site now.

That's arguably flawed reasoning, there's apparently considerably fewer posters overall now

To a certain extent. But the site's left lost LiterateDog and Chorabliss.

If people want to keep the place alive and interesting for themselves then they can do these things:

there would be so little traffic on the community board that you could shut it down
