At my age (and in my group), we usually segregate along “medical talk” and “other talk”. I do know folks who are more specific about “other”… usually sports.
I don’t mind stepping out of the conversation for awhile — everyone needs a breather now and then — but politics is how we treat each other as a society, and that matters.
I do not debate politics with people I know. I leave that to the editorial page of my local newspaper and fora such as this.
I know my next door neighbor is of opposite political opinion. We are very friendly and good neighbors. So much so that when he built a fence around his yard to keep his dog in, he put a gate in between our properties.
You have to admit….if the tarnished golden @$$ weren’t in the picture, there wouldn’t be that much to talk about these years (2015- and still going) ❗️❗️
America is saturated with conspiracy theorists, lies, deceit, and treason…..
Ok. No politics. Mr Wiseman is progressing faster than thought and will be a big factor this year (Pun intended) and PBJ will spend more time on the floor at Chase Center than in Santa Cruz. You thought Steph, Klay and Poole were great last year, imagine the year with a big man who can contribute 17 points and pull down 15 rebounds per game and has long range skills as well. To quote Mr Curry, “We gon’ be better next year.” And that’s just the addition of Mr Wiseman. Look out for PBJ, Moses Moody, DeVincenzo and the rest of the bench. The Warriors bench is better than most of the league’s starters. Gonna be another fun year. And Mr Thompson will have a full training camp without re-hab. OOOOOOOO it’s gonna be so much fun.
What isn’t mentioned is that sowing discord in order to get Americans to disengage from political discourse is the entire point of Putin’s troll farm, the Internet Research Agency. Folks like rikki are more than happy to do their part to destroy participatory democracy.
My wife always told me to not talk politics with my Republican relatives. After a few hrs or less we would be hard at it with my lame brain relatives. I was always ready to debate the other side if provoked.
Safe to say a Red Tsunami is coming when Stahler wants to move on. Sorry Folks, the Election is coming regardless. That is unless Brandon starts a War to postpone the inevitable.

Not a bad way to do it!

The political talk groups can be toxic, especially if the subjects are “Gun Safety” and or “Women’s Rights”.

Probably safer to do that

Yes, ignoring a problem will make it go away. /S

I have often wondered why Jeff Stahler is on the “Left” page and not in the “Middle” while Clay Jones should definitely be on this one.

Should be easier to stop political cartooning.

In politics talk no one’s mind is ever changed.

Now, with the election less than five weeks away, is NOT the time to stop talking politics.
