Politics

[ghost2]

FYI: Not everyone who plans to vote Republican in this year's presidential election is stupid. (For that matter, not everyone who plans to vote Democrat is, either.) Will people please STFU with the insults already? Just because someone has different views than you, places different values on certain issues, whatever, does not automatically mean that it's okay to make rude, disparaging comments about them. Doing so makes you look like a jackass.

Thank you. While I'm not voting Republican (and in my state, it wouldn't matter if I did), I've been avoiding political discussions like the plague. People are entitled to their opinions, but people are also getting a bit enthusiastic about it for my taste. We're all informed, we all vote for the ones we want out of the bunch, end of story as far as I'm concerned.

I absolutely won't discuss politics with family. Especially with my ultra-conservative uncle, whose idea of debate is hammering you with his opinion to "prove" he's right, and my ultra-liberal cousin, who keeps bringing up the subject at inappropriate times. My family is proof that there are idiots are both sides. I don't want to see political arguments on LJ too.
