It is said that religion and politics are the two big categories to avoid when in a social gathering. Even over a casual dinner with close friends; politics can be a mine field of conversation. It starts by the casual mention of a political figure or a current bill that is in play to be passed by Congress; at this point the listener has to option to agree or disagree.
Some choose to agree to simply prevent the conversation from going any further and some choose to disagree to perpetuate an argument; however, agreeing does not guarantee that the conversation will change its track. One that considers themselves to be well informed will often decide that they need to educate those listening on their own spin of politics. If the listener disagrees then it is sure to be competition of knowledge and the craft of how to support a theory of whatever political issue is at stake.
Politics and political figures are really just about opinions in themselves. The political figures pay attention to the majority and campaign the way they believe will get them into office. When it comes down an actual vote it is nothing more than one person making an educated guess on the information they have…hopefully. There are theories of conspiracy and corruption, and they do exist but they are not as blatant as some would think. Politics is mainly about people and their opinions; some just have the power and option to make a difference with their opinion.
