Something that bugs me about political posts on here...

Is that 90% of them are one sided. Posts which acknowledge that both sides have their issues hardly get any responses. I guess it's just easier for us to jump on the bandwagon and trash the party that we can't stand.

I agree. There is no nuance with the political posts on here which is why I've muted anyone who goes on about either political party whether I agree with them or not. It achieves nothing.

It is easier to be extreme than it is to look at both sides as looking at both sides takes something called critical thinking which seems to be at a premium these days.

@Bri89 I try to keep an open mind, and give everyone a chance before blocking. I know exactly what you mean regarding people going on and on and on with the political posts.

I've blocked several people who go on with the political posts. You try to share your thoughts and how you feel, they agree with you or you have a civil discussion, and think that maybe it'll change how they think, but then their next post is political and back to square one. Like, they didn't really think about what you and them spoke about.

That's when I get fed up and block them. But in any type of situation, I look at both sides and try to give my honest input. I just try to stay as neutral as possible when talking politics, but it's really something we shouldn't discuss in company.

@twiigss @Bri89 What annoys me is when someone starts discussing politics on a non political post and then an argument breaks out...ugh.
