politics

[emchy]

so if you know me in real life you likely know this already
but i grew up with a politics is private sort of policy
rooster - my wife is a politics junkie. super informed. big student of history. and for most folks if they bother to ask - she can school you in the last few decades of politics. if you too are a politics junkie - you'll at least have some fun history conversations.

i pay attention to politics. have some strong feelings. but often am not a big fan of sharing them. i have good reasons but tend to get tripped up in conversations and then feel kinda dumb. not my favorite place to be. but around politics and history more than anywhere else i doubt my own knowledge (though not my convictions) of what has come before and what exact places everyone stands.

all that to say - it's not likely you'll find me making big declarations here one way or another. i will vote for the democrat that gets the nomination for president and support who it is - though i have my favorite - i think both frontrunners will do a good job. i hope that the fans of both frontrunners do their own factchecking about the many bits of info going around the net as i've already found a few things to be totally fabricated on both sides - which honestly - made me really sad.

ok - i am usually so outspoken - for some reason i just felt like i needed to get that out there.

i'm married to someone who enjoys engaging in (friendly) political debates. i'm someone who's unlikely to talk politics with almost anyone who doesn't already know me reeeeeeally well. basically, i won't talk politics with anyone whose ideas about who i am might be altered by what i say in a political discussion. i don't dislike listening to the conversations, but you usually won't hear me jumping into them. doesn't mean i don't hold political opinions; i just won't voice them.

Yeah, but if I run for World Dictator, you'll vote me, right? That's all I need to know.
