However, some people just cannot deal with politics due to disagreement and probably avoid it for that reason.
Sometimes people make themselves the issue. Such as when they post unsubstantiated BS and refuse to even try to back it up.
Example: More votes than registered voters. Some posters keep repeating stuff like that. When other posters ask for some proof, they go silent. Until they say it again.
