Is political debate dead?

All I see are echo chambers. Biased media with biased articles and biased comments where those who dare to disagree with the political leanings of the site or newspaper are bashed
Even here, most questions are either 'let's excoriate Trump' or 'let's bash liberals', and if you dare to disagree and spoil the private party, the pack shows their sharp teeth.

It seems that way. I have disagreed with Obama and Trump (not equally) and have endured the wrath from both sides. These politicians are flawed beings - with an agenda - yet their camps are too busy worshiping at their alters to see truth from fantasy.

I think the better question would be ...
Are critical thinking skills dead?

@whoowho I am quite appalled that people either see Trump as a demigod who does everything right, or the absolute devil.

@Cierzo You are not alone 😒

Democracy exists when there are opposing views.

The opposing view cannot JUST BE "Trump is an evildoer".
