i am not a part of any social media. people have their mind made up way before they even engage in a “discussion”. they lure their subject/s in and before you know the ranting, ranting and wild, unproven accusations and falsehoods spewed all over for those who chose to listen.
Good advice! I saw a pie chart on the outcome of arguments on Facebook. The green slice was when you change your mind. The blue slice was when the other persons change their minds. The red slice was when no one changes anything and everybody’s annoyed. Yep, the whole pie was red.
In arguing and/or discussing politics with strangers such as here in the comics. I have keep my thoughts to myself and as the saying goes, “Be quiet and let them think that you are a fool or open your mouth and confirm it”
Especially if you’re right wing. You will get flame sprayed by liberals, just by expression your opinion. They will tell you that you’re evil incarnate and wish upon you harm and destruction to your life, livelihood, family, and property. I know this from personal experience.

This discussion would be more appropriate on InYourFaceBook.

Here, Here! No one ever in the history of Facebook has ever changed anyone else’s political opinion during a “discussion”. So why bother arguing!

If people didn’t discuss politics or personal lives on Facebook, there wouldn’t be a Facebook.

Maybe next time Will can extend that sentiment to GoComics, but then that would leave a bunch of blowhards with nothing to do with their time,
