[QUOTE="Technut1990, post: 601457, member: 3774"] Inherently political discussion is an eyelash away from an argument. We can attempt to discuss issues using fact based data points but the problem is that the data points themselves are anything but solid. If I defend a white guy against racist behavior or the accusation of it then there are people who will simply blow my logic off as coming from a racist. If I say Obama wasted his opportunity to be a leader on race issues there will be those who tell me that it wasn't Obama but the conservatives who stopped any progress. If someone says AOC is trying to help then I would say she is an socialist who doesn't understand our system. Inevitably it becomes personal because every attack on any politician or position is perceived as an attack on the individual who supports them. in this context we can never talk about politics on this blog b/c talking turns into debate and debate turns into defensive attitudes [/QUOTE]
