You don’t talk about politics. If some idiot starts breaking into a rant, nod agreeably and let them talk until someone else complains or they piss off the boss. You don’t get to express your true opinions at work, period. You do so at considerable peril except when you sense there is an opening. More to the point, getting involved in workplace politics is normally bad enough as it is.
I hear ya. But, we're a pretty "open office". I really don't care what I say. There won't be any repercussions with the "boss", because I do a ton of work for him (and he's pretty neutral on politics). I plan to make and wear a NOBama shirt within the next two weeks. That should get some folks talkin'. Like I said, I really don't care what others think.
