true

It could be interesting to have a debate which is more structured, or at least in an environment which could restrict a lot of the mudslinging and trolling that makes this thread unappealing. Perhaps a Discord server or something similar, because that would be easy to set up and limit access to block out/ban a lot of the problem users to facilitate a proper discussion without the unnecessary extracurriculars that go on in this thread.
Tayasaurus:
When it comes down to it, the forums just isn't suited for intelligent political debate. Apart from the concept of "Megathreads" with "rules" there's no laser like focus on politics in a lot of peoples agenda here.

some public discords i've personally been to have real talk or serious discussion channels so you could maybe get something out of those, but of course, smaller groups of people.

This could help yeah. That and there's less chance of problem users looking to step on peoples toes.
