I remain as always a political nihilist for the most part, because the news is full of unfair and unbalanced coverage, and opinions are like asses, everyone has one. The only time I show any concern about politics is when something actually affects my personal lifestyle I:E gun ownership or the job market. Taking an entire stance based on "facts" portrayed by the news or, God forbid, one of my heavily political relatives, is nonsensical and results in hatred of opposing viewpoints and, lets face it, flamewars that we call "debates". I really don't need the pressure of an entire political ideology on top of all the other crap I have to tolerate in my individual life. So hate Clinton and Obama, or love them, that's your choice, mine, is not a choice.
