Politics man... is it worth the conflict?

So, my family just got into a HUGE political argument. Id like to say debate but it was more of an argument because people were focused on their view being heard and being right instead of just sharing intel and letting the facts talk. This is why I don’t like talking about my political views with people who care too much about it. Because then it does more destruction then good.

Its funny, because I do find politics to be important but I don’t find it important for everyone to know what my personal views are unless I plan to do something about it. Otherwise, it seems irrelevant to me. Am I the only one who thinks like this?

I totally agree! I avoid any form of political talk when it comes to family or friends. Some people can be so demeaning when they try to get there opinion across. I def don’t think it’s worth it!

Bad combo.. family and politics...and if religion is involved..it becomes a scene from Hatfield and McCoys.

I think in the world we live in today..its a very touchy subject..that should be spoken about..but ya gotta make sure u know each others views ahead of time.

I say..best family talk..."Least amount as possible,too avoid ticking anyone off"..pets r a good topic!!
