Crooked Timber has fairly high quality discussion from a left wing perspective, although it seems the quality is partly maintained by pretty aggressive moderation of sufficiently divergent political opinions. So if you’re looking for a forum with free debate between a variety of political perspectives, that may not be the place.
There are a bunch I don’t follow/can’t remember anymore because I don’t care as much as I used to, but my method was basically drilling through lists like this and judging the first couple pages of content. Also, the better ones tend to link to other quality ones. It’s worth noting that in some cases the comment section is higher quality than the posts themselves.
Sumner’s blog is decent. but he’s a bit of a broken record.
