My auto-response was, "not at all", but that would be a lie. While reading some of the threads and participating has not changed my voting record, it has helped me understand the issues.
Aside from the "but Clinton..." posts, there are some reasonable and thoughtful right of spectrum arguments that communicate clearly. I now find that I consider intelligence and competency much more important than whether a politician is right or left.
