The Agora
In the spirit of the Ancient Greek Agora, we invite you to join our vibrant community - a contemporary meeting place for the exchange of ideas, inspired by the practices of old. Just as the Agora served as the heart of public life in Ancient Athens, our platform is designed to be the epicenter of meaningful discussion and thought-provoking dialogue.
Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.
You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.
Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

Let MAGAs read and engage with reasonable content as long as possible so long as they aren't dickheads. You never know when someone will say something that makes them rethink their position.
Yup, my mind was changed around the time I found Reddit and was exposed to new ideas. Before that point, I considered myself conservative because I thought they actually wanted smaller government, but then I found I'm closer to libertarian, specifically Penn Jillette's flavor, and found communities on Reddit to that extent. Since then, I've probably voted more Democrat than Republican in my red state, at least for contested offices.
We need more discussion across political lines, not less.
If they are coming in good faith, willing to discuss and empathise, engagement is good and everyone can learn from each other. If it's in bad faith, then block or mock.
Yup, I 100% agree. It just takes time to figure out which it is.
