The downside of social media and politics? IT'S SO ANNOYING.
The last thing I want all over my newsfeed is people sharing large photos of their political affiliations. Yes, it's a free country, I totally get that, and you have the right to say whatever you want. But we all have our own opinions and beliefs, and I don't really need yours shoved in my face.
Even if we believe the same thing. That's great, we're both Democrats, but it's like taking me into a crowded square and yelling about our personal lives for everyone to hear. I don't want it, and I don't need it.
Another side is the arguments that come up. Facebook comments on photos or statuses that are just vile and scathing and offensive, I don't want to see that. Yes, I am so glad that these arguments are virtual and not physical. But I don't want to see people saying disgusting things about why my opinion is wrong, or why someone else is stupid for believing in such and such.
I think we just need to cool it. Keep it confined to certain areas of the internet. I don't want to see it unless I go looking for it.
I feel that you make a great point. I feel that people are bashing others on their opinions and whether or not they agree with them. I would rather people not discuss politics at all on my timeline and it does become annoying. I feel that I do not think that people understand what really is going on in our government and they talk about whatever pops into their brain at the first thought.
ReplyDeleteI agree that people are constantly bashing others about their political stance on social media sites. Someone simply puts on their wall that a candidate made a good point, then 10 people jump on in the comments underneath either bashing or supporting the statement made, when there was no need for response in the first place.
