We are way more liberal than our families so we choose not to discuss certain topics with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-discuss-politics-with-family-or-co-workers#post-727225 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 19:45:47 +0000 MrsH 727225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hardly ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-discuss-politics-with-family-or-co-workers#post-727217 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 19:44:10 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 727217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My colleagues are all like minded so we may mention something, but it's never much of a discussion because we all agree. Family on the other hand, I tread lightly... No sense burning bridges over it. Politics is a pass time (if not career) in my friend circle, so we discuss politics a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-discuss-politics-with-family-or-co-workers#post-727200 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 19:41:10 +0000 jmarionsmith 727200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't discuss with my family or in-laws. the few times it has come up it got real ugly real quick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-discuss-politics-with-family-or-co-workers#post-727184 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 19:37:47 +0000 Mrs. Polish 727184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@apis: I discuss with DH only. My coworkers are always discussing it, but they all have the same opinion, so it's pretty useless to join in with them. My family doesn't get into politics too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-discuss-politics-with-family-or-co-workers#post-727174 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 19:36:44 +0000 apis 727174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It seems to be a hyper-partisan time in the US these days, and I wondered if HBers were at all careful in discussing politics, or discussing too much or too vehemently, with family and/or colleagues? </p>
