It seems like the really good discussion places wouldn't have to carry this caveat. It's too bad those are even harder to find.
Wonkery can be debated; humanity can't.
Ideally, yes, but if the political views you are hoping to find are ones that overtly limit any dissent or respect for any other view (extreme absolute authoritarianism for example) then the views themselves subvert the ability to have meaningful discourse about them.
