Why Don't People Like To Talk About Politics?

"Nigga" isn't a racist word. "Nigger," especially in context, is a racial slur. You're also assuming that Obama supporters only like him for racial reasons when you call them nigger-lovers.



I never heard anyone call racism over the word Obamanite. If anyone did, then they're stupid. Obamanite and Trumpster are not insults and they're not racist.

I didn't assume anything. I stated a fact.

Why do you compare terms when one hasn't been used, cunt?

"I never heard . . ". Hate to break it to you but what YOU hear/don't hear isn't the determining factor for anything except for you. People didn't have to use Obamanite, just Obama, and oppose his policies to be considered racist.
 
Just for the record cawacko, I don't consider you to be "human scum." :)

I think the best way to talk about politics is for the people doing the talking to respect each other, refrain from talking about one another and instead focus on the merits of the subject under discussion.

It's very healthy to avoid thinking of the other side as a bunch of horrible people. They are simply people with whom you disagree. They have their reasons for believing the things they do and you have yours. If your view depends on demonizing the other side you should probably rethink your view. Both sides have good and bad people.

Oh, and if you want the type of dinner party where people feel comfortable to talk about politics then only invite good people. It doesn't matter which side of the political spectrum they fall on, good people understand there are good and bad people on both sides.

shut the fuck up.
 
who decides who are the crazies? sorry but your plan is fucked. you should focus on reversing citizens united.

Public financing removes the incredible power of the wealthy and corporations to get control of those running. It makes them far more likely to respond to the people. We are going from oligarchy to plutocracy and you are voting for it.

How would you know? You have everyone you disagree with on ignore.
 
Which proves the point. Do not allow them to donate to campaigns. Then they lose one avenue of power.

but with no outside donations those running the government will decide "who isnt crazy". no. the answer is small individual donations from regular people. capped at 500$. or some other limited amount.
 
For much of my life I was not very well informed.
You still aren't informed.

I shied away from political discussions simply because I didn't know much about what was going on and I didn't want to display my ignorance.
You still don't know what's going on, and you still display your ignorance.

And I wasn't very interested in politics. It all seemed out of my control. I was born in the USA, and everything went on seemingly just fine without my input. Even though I was a paper boy, I never read the news I delivered. I became an adult and never took much of an interest in politics.
Okay.

I felt like a dummy whenever political discussions arose.
You still are.

I didn't watch the news and didn't care much. It all seemed like a waste of time. It seemed like it didn't matter if I cared or not. Powerful forces controlled the nation and my input had no apparent impact.
Okay.

I always did vote, though, simply because it was logical that we should. The nation depends on people at least voting. I wasn't very well informed, so I just voted based on what little I knew from talking to people.
So you were (and still are) an uninformed voter. Got it.

Over the years that began to nag at me. I wanted to be better informed to make sure my votes were well considered. I subscribed to a newspaper and began to read up. I was amazed at everything going on. I began to watch the news and listen to radio talk shows. I wanted to talk about all I was learning but ran smack into a brick wall.
You still don't want to be better informed. That's why you hide inside echo chambers. Newspapers are mostly nothing more than smear merchants, smearing Conservatives. Same with mainstream news networks. I don't believe that you have ever listened to radio talk shows, especially any Conservative ones...

People don't want to talk about politics!
No, they just wish not to talk to political morons who refuse to learn.

If you force it on them, many become agitated and even angry.
Because they are sick of hearing tripe from political morons who refuse to learn...

I never understood that.
Because you are a political moron who refuses to learn.

And sometimes even I would become angered by things other people would say. What was THAT all about? I didn't understand what was going on. I needed more information. And I needed to talk about politics. I just knew I didn't like the getting angry part.
You STILL become angered by things other people say. That's why you whine whenever someone doesn't behave as you wish they would behave and then you place them onto your lengthy ignore list.

That was when I began to chat online.

Well, talk about people getting angry!

Chatting online is where people go who want to blow off their steam without getting into physical fights in person.

But I don't like that. I don't see any point in venting pent up frustrations that way. It's like a sick loop. Vent, feel better, get worked back up again, vent, feel better, repeat. Over and over. That seemed ridiculous.
Yet, here you are... still here... seems like you don't really believe what you are saying here since you have stuck around...

All I wanted to do was get better informed so I felt better about what I was voting for.
Yet you are still as ill informed as you were before...

Now I think I understand.

I know why people don't want to talk about politics. They are like I was. They don't really feel well informed, are somewhat embarrassed to admit it, so they derail such discussions by getting angry and mean. Either that, or they have become hopelessly misinformed, taken in by conspiracy theories, they blame certain groups for the problems of the nation, and they vent their frustrations by attacking people whom they perceive to be representative of the demonized bad people they blame for the nation's problems.

What is really going on is powerful interests exert outsized control over our nation, people are helpless to change it, and they are frustrated that they have no control over what happens to them. They are looking for someone or some group to blame for this preposterous power usurpation, and the conspiracy theories attempt to fill that void.

The right and the left blame each other for the lack of more prosperity in the most prosperous large nation on Earth, but really it is the very rich power junkies who control most of our government.

Basically, people shy away from talking about politics real life in person because they are frustrated and angry, and they don't want to lose their cool.

That's a problem. If people don't talk about politics they remain uninformed.

If everybody got well informed it would transform our nation. The very rich power junkies would not be able to control most of our government. Government would begin to serve the people as intended. That is the one thing the very rich power junkies who control most of our government don't want. They LIKE the control they have and they LIKE being very rich and they don't want anything which might cause their power to slip away. They don't want everybody else to become as rich as they are because if that happens they are no longer special. So they spend money to keep the populace mixed up and poorly informed. They spend money on PR campaigns to spread misinformation and propaganda.

And it works.

People are all mixed up, not very well informed, and they don't want to talk about politics.

The reason is because they feel helpless, like they have no control, and it won't matter if they know more about what's going on but it will only make them feel more helpless.

Fortunately there is now an answer to this frustration. The corruption of our government is about to be drawn to an end. And that is wonderful news. It won't happen overnight because the way to return control to the people is going to be a long process. But the exciting thing to know is that process has already begun. Smart people have figured out how to fix our legalized corruption problem.

Here is what's going on:


Here's the website with all the answers:

RepresentUS.com

There, you'll find many more short videos and resources which explain exactly how we are going to get the corruption out of government. The good news is it can be done, and it is already happening. And you can help out. Check out the short video, the link, and learn how we are going to build a better America using the best the left and the right.

Then SMILE! Our country is going to get better!

That is really cool to know. And it's also cool to know we don't have to get angry when talking about it.

:)

Psychoquackery.

Conspiracy theories about conspiracy theories, among other things...

Whining... Blaming others for your problems... In other words, a typical PoliTalker post...
 
If more people felt comfortable to talk about politics, then more people would get better informed; and propaganda would be less effective.

the left and deep state are the big censorship advocates. they're the ones who started labelling political discussion as "conspiracy theories".
