I suggest that people willing to debate current politics at length
with fellow Extropians create forums on Exi BBS to that effect.
Exi BBS is at
You just need a standard compliant browser and off you go. As
everything new it requires getting used to it a little, but it's not
hard.
And from time to time someone could post a message on the main list
