Does it seem to you that a lot of people in the politics section don’t fully take in the questions they answer?
don't fully take in? Not sure what you mean, but I tend to answer the question that is posted without trying to guess at what the person might really mean.

Are all people in the politics section eternally butthurt?
Try asking an intelligent question.
What is the point of trolling in the politics section?
I haven't seen such a collection of accounts before who are trying and succeeding so hard to appear totally divorced from reality. Can some of the few real people explain to me what the point of this is? Surely those antics aren't convincing anybody who isn't already convinced and it's an utter waste of time. If it were at least funny and creative maybe, But it is not even that. Feel free to insult me, I don't expect anything else from trolls.
Why is the politics section of Yahoo! Answers so trashy? In fact, why are Yahoo! News comments so partisan and racist?
How do people think that it helps their case by posting and giving thumbs up to answers and questions as ridiculous as "LOL LIBTARDS LOVE KILLING BABIES!" or "OMG CONSERVATARDS HATE CHANGE AND ARE THE EARLY STAGES OF EVOLUTION!" or "LOL LIBERALS LOVE BIG GOVERNMENT" (although we are statistically proven to be a bipartisan nation of beneficiaries with no significant difference among conservatives, moderates, and liberals using government entitlement programs). Or spamming mindless quotes like "if you're old and not conservative, then you have no brain" or "well, reality just has a liberal bias". I mean, seriously, do you guys really think that throwing juvenile insults at each other, calling each other stupid all the time, profiling each other into one box and hive mind that all think alike, and making fun of each other for being on government assistance (even though there's no statistical significant difference) is going to help your case? I mean, sheesh, why is there so much mud slinging, name calling, and just immature insulting on here? I get that people don't want to be "politically correct" or whatever, which is understandable to a degree, but what kind of mature adults say "stupid conservatard redneck Republicans" or "libtard government worshippers"? Even the Yahoo! News comments! So much insulting of political parties, racism completely abound... what is wrong with the users on this forum lol?
Most of the top comments in the politics section are left-leaning. Is this an "answers" website the left-leaning people go to for confirmation bias?
There is a bias but it's rooted in statistics. Most of the land in the US is rural and tends towards the “right” as you don't need as much legislation with fewer neighbors on average. However most of the US population is urban and they tend towards the “left” as you have a bunch of people trying to get along. Not every city leans this way but many do. This was the original intent of a bicameral legislator so highly populated states should get more representation in the House and every state would get equal representation in the Senate. This has caused some problems in the electoral college as the mix means the popular vote can lose but that's how the system was set up. The “left” would probably win every time if we went off popular votes as most of the population is urban. You'll see the same phenomenon on the internet as it goes off of pure popularity and there are more than likely more “left” users than “right.” Google does clamp down on unorthodox “left” views but the statistics do allow for some bais.
Do you agree with a section of people who could not digest the political turn around after years of corrupt rule of congress and started calling the Indian government a one party dictatorship and Indian voters as fools?
No, I think change is necessary in politics. Congress party governed India for a very long time. The citizens of our country witnessed the rule of Congress and now, they themselves decided to pass the Government of country into the hands of NDA. Not only BJP is at central but also at present 19 states of India are governed by BJP. Its the demand of public that is why almost whole country is governed by the single party. I don’t think that such a large proportion of people could take wrong decision.It is not right to critise any party but public cannot tolerate the rule of any particular party for a very long time. Thus, it is essential for our country and its progress that Government should change from time to time.But, without any doubt, it is sure that the voters of India are not fool and at least there is no dictatorship in India. Many counties of this World had witnessed dictatorship there is not a single thing which approves that India is facing dictatorship at present.Central Government is conducting many experiments to insure the progress and upliftment of our country. Many of these experiments are successful and some are failures also but all of them certifies that at least Government is making efforts for the welfare of our country.
