Do you post on the Politics Board?

Yes - from time to time

I am sure people complain about how terrible it is because of the drama as when people speak politics or religion in general things can become heated quick especially if you got two people talking them who are basically opposites of each other and feel pretty strongly about their position.

They should change the name to "The Trump Board".

I never read or post on either the Politics or Religion boards for the same reason - it's a waste of time. No matter how well thought out or articulated your positions are, it's extremely unlikely that anyone will ever change their mind based on what they read on an internet message board.

Yes, I post on there all the time.

I occasionally become embroiled in a heavy-duty discussion or debate, but I normally try to keep my contributions brief and to the point, or light-hearted and humorous. I also sometimes try to appeal to the commonalities that posters from both sides of the political aisle share with each other, but this has met with limited success.

I have mixed feelings about the politics board.

Because I value my mental health, never.

Sort of, always.

Rarely. Its too annoying.

Yes, but not because I'm looking to post on the politics board, if that makes sense.

The board I go to is the "Recent Threads board." That's always what I use. So it just depends on what's popping up there. Because the politics board is so active, I wind up posting on those threads often. I don't actually have much interest in day-to-day politics though. The things that people care about when it comes to politics, and the opinions they have about the stuff they care about tend to just annoy me. I hardly ever watch the news because of this, too. So I'd rather talk about other stuff--more just like general discussion/"shooting the shit" kind of casual talk, but politics is what's most active here, so I wind up posting on those threads.

I never pay attention to the particular board of any thread I'm posting on, by the way.  In other words, I never know if I'm posting on a politics board thread, a film general thread, etc.  I have no idea what board this thread is on, either. (although I just looked now since I brought it up . . . but usually my eyes just never go to that part of the screen)

I started on the RFS board, hoping to inject some logic and reason, and start a conversation that might tone down the "My religion is right and everyone else's is wrong" notion, looking for coexistence, but no... not possible.

In essence, same with the Politics board, only it is more brutal and combative.  Tribalism seems to still be hard-wired into human beings.

I visit from time to time, but rarely post anymore.
