I tried for a little while to avoid politics, but I have too many friends from DU over there. Ironically, only a few 'friends' left me (like my brother), though I imagine I'm blocked by quite a few. And that's okay!

None from any political forums or Twitter.

It was a choice I made years ago and I am glad I did that. Most people who know me know I'm liberal though.

During the elections I posted many "gotchas" to my Conservative friends but I tried to keep them somewhat on the humerous side. Now that the election is in the rear view mirror I try as hard as possible to avoid politics as much as I can. Not 100% , but close.

Catch me on Twitter & DU if you want politics @sellitman
