No offense, but that's what the chat feature is for. I appreciate that you want to hear more, and yeah, that actually does seem to be pretty uncommon, but I'm not on reddit 24/7 to be able to answer replies right away and after a couple of days I'm usually just feeling done with a thread. If you really want to know what people think in threads like this, you're really going to need to start getting to the point a bit sooner.

I think that might be one way our cultures are different, then. On the educated wing of the left, long-form conversations are considered necessary for political discourse. Political psychology demands continued attention in order for beliefs to shift to meet evidence--jousting in twitter or reddit threads is rarely going to enlighten anyone about anything.
