I stay away from debates on topics I'm not fluent in

It's sad that I have to avoid that discussion. Things are so polarized now that it doesn't matter how good a thought you have or how reasonable it is, you get dismissed and overrun even if baseless.

Because people are so polarized that may are no longer rational about the subject

Politics is a hotbed atm, not a good idea to discuss them.

I don't know much about it, so I don't have an opinion.

I feel uncomfortable talking about it unless they agree.

My husband and are differ greatly in this area, I let him talk, I just don't reply. Same with religious views.

My mom use to say never discuss religion and politics at the dinner table! My younger sister,were too young to understand until Trump becuz she unfriend so many times .So, its Politics first!

I am not always informed with politics because I cannot vote yet, and they are not always educated conversations.

I personally will talk about politics as a way to weed out people I don't want to surround myself around.

Every has an opinion, and even when we're on the same side of the fence, discussing it is still beating a dead horse. Unless either of us has something new, I stand against more talk.

I prefer to wait and see which side the individual is on before speaking up. I don't want to say the wrong thing to the wrong person and find myself with a real live one on my hands.

i am so vehemently against the new president and everything he says or does, it is best for me to avoid that subject.
