I'd honestly love to stop sharing political posts. Every morning I promised myself to dial it down. I imagine I'm speaking only to my own filter bubble.
But as the news and analysis comes through my feed something inside tells me that to be silent is to be complicit.
What are your thoughts? Does anyone who disagrees with me actually read these posts? Does it refine your thinking even a little? Does that even matter? Is it enough just to arm allies with the latest information? Or maybe do most of you just tune it all out?
The most depressing thought of all is that after billions of dollars in ads and organizing, countless speeches, and the thoughtful articulation of the most effective orators of our time (Barack and Michelle Obama), people still don't understand. What could a few FB posts ever hope to accomplish.
