The way people vote on politically contentious topics on this site is very far from some rational ideal. Politics is the mind-killer and all that. I don't think it's changing any time soon, so I'd recommend just getting used to it.
But why do people just accept the status quo?? Politics doesn't kill my mind. I know how to not 'cheer for my team' and to think about topics in a balanced way. I expect people to act irrationally on the comment section of the news website I read- but why are people not rising above it on this website of all places?
Get use to it? It's very hard to think it's rare and unexpected for people to talk about a topic rationally. I don't see why people find it so hard- especially when they've apparently read articles highlighting common problems and where they come from.
If you want people to ask you stuff reply to this post with a comment to that effect.
More accurately, ask any participating LessWronger anything that is in the category of questions they indicate they would answer.
