A cautionary tale for those of us who are passionate about politics

Appreciate you liking it. :0)

They irony is I identify with neither, though I tend to swing progressively left no most economic issues (but not all of the social ones).

no wonder you were kicked under the table. no one likes a centrist

True, I prefer to keep my political discussion's online, though it can be difficult being I have two (idk about my other two sisters) liberal sisters, and then me my Parents and my brother are very conservative

It used to be fun to have political conversations with people you disagree with … I used to have those discussions with my leftist friends a lot more than my conservative friends because it was fun to have a friendly debate … now it gets so nasty so fast that I had to adopt that old adage that you don't discuss politics over a meal. Sucks, but that's the way it is today.
