Look. I LOVE politics. I have a huge interest in it, as you all can probably tell, but discussing politics with people online can be such a huge pain in the ass. Even if I try to back my points up with pretty good facts, that I know I’m right, the others will want to think they are right, all the time. No matter what it is said. In this day and age of the internet, politics seem to be the most talked about topic. Whenever I post something politics related either in my facebook page or here, these topics are almost always controversial. They always end with way over 30 comments and they just keep going. A lot of times, political debates online end up very heated at the end, sometimes they even get into bullying and attacking others.
Most of my topics like movies, music, or professional wrestling is mostly ignored by the public, but when I post political related stuff that’s when I usually get people going!
The thing is, people will always want to think you’re bad because you have a different opinion than everyone else’s, ya know? It’s pissing me off, and discussing politics can be a bit overwhelming. That’s why I try to stay away from political discussions more but when election time comes, I just can’t help myself.
I don’t like either Mitt Romney or Obama, so I’m going to vote somebody else in the other parties, probably Gary Johnson, he seems pretty decent. Gary is getting some popularity even though he isn’t a Republican/Democrat. He might have a good chance getting a lot of votes. This election stuff will be over soon. When it’s over, I’ll probably stay away from political discussion even more.

Well it’s easy to avoid politics AFTER the election. I’m sure most of us will do that.
I agree with you that debating on politics is pointless. Most people have their views and will never be swayed, including me. You were actually debating more of a conspiracy theory than politics with the birther thing, but hey whatever. It’s difficult to know what the real facts are out there. Even the fact checkers are left with their heads spinning. And both parties lie.
A 3rd party candidate huh? Well he won’t get elected but at least you’ll have voted to your heart’s political content. I try to have peace of mind in that no matter who wins we’ll probably still be the greatest country in the world.
