I love when people talk about politics. It makes it very easy to decide whether I should be their friend or not.
Downvoters that don't reply are cowards, say what you want to say
They just know their politics are shitty and don't want to be judged for it. Otherwise they'd agree.
It's funny no matter which side we are coming from we rarely get checked on our views in our social media curated echo chambers.
In the old days we would have been pulled more to the center due to most people in real life being a little left or right of it.
I still think many really are but that doesn't sell ads or moves people to vote like what about them outrage or think of the children boogie men do. It's a shame how polarized we've become.
First you create a problem, then you sell them the solution. It's a great business model apparently.
