Another solution would be to think of spaces to discuss politics which one can join.
There are spaces I can join (and have joined) to do politics or observe politics but not so much to discuss politics, because the people there lack the rationality skills or background knowledge (e.g., the basics of Bayesian epistemology, or an understanding of game theory in general and signaling in particular) to do so.
I believe that we wont get a better understanding of politics by discussing it here, as its more of a form of empirical knowledge you acquire:
I think we need both, because after observing “politics in the wild”, I need to systemize the patterns I observed, understand why things happened the way they did, predict whether the patterns/trends I saw are likely to continue, etc. And it’s much easier to do that with other people’s help than to do it alone.
