I will read the responses more in depth later but just reading the OP, I have to say that I am WAY intimidated by politics. I've never been outspoken in real life. Mostly quiet and keep to myself type.. Never opened up in group discussions when I went to school, etc. I try to keep up with politics/current events to be somewhat informed, but I never feel it is enough to make an educated opinion about anything. I browse some of the political threads and there is so much back and forth that it is hard to keep up with and would feel awkward to just step right in as it often deviates from the OP. Maybe it is ego. And I don't like dealing with that...
