For the most part, I don't post in politics largely because I can't just post my response and come back later to read other responses to the OP - political threads usually turn into back-and-forth arguments about something not-very-related-to-the-OP and I just don't enjoy trying to keep up with threads like that. I've tried that with a handful of non-political threads (one that I started, trying to keep discussion going) and even that wore me out.
I'd rather talk to one person about politics than try to read, understand, and reply to the viewpoints of a handful of people all going on and on and off on tangents.
