    I rarely discuss politics IRL or on social media.

    IMO, sit/listen and weed out the garbage.

    Unfortunately over the last few years online political discussion has become sports talk for people who are too dumb to understand sports... My Team Rulz ! Your Team Sucks! Good Night Now!!!

    It was never great to begin with but it's been dumbed down so much that it's usually pointless to engage in a discussion. Some of the most ill-informed people I know are the people who constantly follow the news and those people can't wait to give their opinions at the most inappropriate times. I can't even go to family holiday dinners anymore without having to listen to hours of mindless blather. I don't even want to talk about what I have to listen to at work.
