I've read this thread with interest and decided to respond (finally).
I don't post in Politics because I'm female and the majority of posters are male, but because it's not worth it to me. I get little return value for the time I put into my post. I don't see the point in "me too" posts, and I don't see the point in posting something that someone will bash because I don't have "facts" to back up my opinion. While I'm genuinely interested in reading opposing arguments, if put forth in a respectful manner, I just don't see that going on in there too often. Also, I am interested in military/veterans posts because of hubby's prior service, and on more than one occasion have had his service or patriotism questioned because of his (or my) political leanings. I think that's disrespectful. That is the reason I rarely post in politics.
