I'm with zjw. Politics is just a box you put yourself in and there are so many people that will automatically assume something about you if you identify as "liberal" or "conservative".
Vote conservative? Gee, you must be a racist, religious wing-nut!
Vote liberal? I suppose you must be a hippie, flag-burning socialist!
LOL. That's how polarizing politics can be in the states. 50% of the country vs. the other 50%. It's sad to see how much time people can spend talking trash about each other.
There are other sites for that kind of stuff. And I find that I don't enjoy participating much in that debate anymore. It's part of the reason I moved abroad and will stay here for the foreseeable future.
Here at SR we are about recovery. I like that as well. I was in a treatment center with folks of all races, religions, and social statuses, but when we were in that group meeting, we were all on the same team. I think the world's politicians could learn a little bit from us recovering alcoholics!
