I'm actually going to vote for the R&P board which I'll be posting on considerably less from now on.  It's clear at this point that it's just a nonstop rehash of the same arguments among the same people albeit in slightly different contexts with the occasional low-tier Thomas Jefferson-esque posts.

2016 board would've been my first, but it's too hilarious at times to deem bad.  I don't read the Economics board very often, but the little I've seen of it seems tame when compared to the latter two.

Religion would be third place for me, it's a pretty hard decision between economics and the 2016 election, but it seems that the 2016 board has more terrible posters than the economics board, so I went with that one.

U.S. General Discussion. It's basically clickbait.

The 2016 board is worst. It's even worse than the 2012 board used to be.

2016 followed by Individual Politics.......2016 will be good when the primaries start, but IP is a heaping pile of sh**t where every idiot from the past 2000 years gets polled for god knows what reason.

2016 is just the worst. I do not go there unless I'm drunk enough to have forgotten how boring and ridiculous it is. Give it another year, year and a half, and I'll see.

R&P is stale, but I do enjoy that kind of discussion every now and then. Nothing regarding religion or philosophy has grabbed my interest in a while, though. Religion and philosophy don't have right and wrong answers, exactly, so the discussion is less lively and engaging. The only interesting discussions involve debating tenants within a particular faith or philosophy - there aren't many very often and there aren't enough people enthusiastic about them to really get it going.

Economics? It's not the most welcoming place for casual visits. I think that's the way the self-styled experts like it. I don't feel welcome to post anything there. I don't feel better for having read most threads there. It was way more entertaining when opebo was around.

Fantasyland.  It's a highly addictive cesspool that seems to generally bring out the worst in people (myself included).

Geography and Demographics was pretty bad circa 2010/2011, mostly because of redistricting. Between Bob's aggressive asshole-ness and krazen cheerleading the Republican gerrymanders, it was awful.

Wtf that was and is by far the best board.

Yeah, Geography and Demographics is the reason I came here to begin with, and I started posting at the tail end of 2011, and even with krazey being krazey it's always been a solid board.

The obvious worst board is fantasyland.  I read through a few threads there a couple times when I was bored, and holy Jesus f**k it's nothing but pointless middle school backbiting.  Kill it with fire.
