PoliticalFilter "is an open community weblog designed exclusively for political posts and commentary. This site is based loosely on MetaFilter (though not officially related to it), and takes the same community approach to weblogging: Anyone, regardless of political affiliation, can sign up for an account at PoliticalFilter and then make blog posts on political subjects or comment on other blog posts."

Related: Devoter.

  • In a related note: I found PoliticalFilter two days ago and have contacted the people who made the CMS to take a look at MoFi. Also: what's wrong with Devoter, anyways, that we need another one?
  • It's worthless because not enough of the people who need to read it will actually read it. It's preaching to the choir. The people (especially in the US) who need to wake the fuck up are not even reading fucking newspapers let alone obscure community blogs.
  • ya. besides, good dialog re: politics doesn't erupt from [i]pursuing[/i] dialog re: politics.
  • I think it's an awesome idea, and I hope my intense skepticism of its chances for not devolving proves unwarranted.
  • The people (especially in the US) who need to wake the fuck up are not even reading fucking newspapers let alone obscure community blogs. This is why I write extended diatribes about the amount of money the US spends on defense compared to other nations on the stall wall of any public toilet I find myself sitting on.

  • The people (especially in the US) who need to wake the fuck up are not even reading fucking newspapers let alone obscure community blogs. Heh.. have you read the newspapers here in the US? It wouldn't help much if they did.
