Perhaps sacrilege to some here, but I'm just as interested in connecting with the other side of the isle- ultimately, I'm not a political partisan but have my views grounded in (philosophical) ethics. Not that I'm blind to politics- to the contrary- hence I want to connect with political communities. The more elected officials we can persuade to support good policies, the better.
Anyways, I'm looking for a broad, general interest community where issues can be discussed but also connects with campaigns/legislation/etc. In short, a GOP counterpart to this here site. Any suggestions?
Oh, and I should add that I also understand the argument that supporting moderates from one party is counterproductive because the most important thing is which party is in control. I think those here do very sound analysis of which campaigns to support given the goal of increasing Dem power in Washington and beyond.
I'm also not trying to be in the business of providing political cover for anyone. The best I can hope for is to be an honest broker of ideas, whether about human extinction or any other topic. Such is the life of an academic, I suppose.
But enough about me. Tell me about the GOP online communities.
