Left-leaning "friends" on social media (Vanity)

Posted on 10/30/2014 1:42:52 PM PDT by Tired of Taxes

On social media websites, how do you handle "friends" with completely different political viewpoints?

Suppose you want to keep in contact with family members. So you sign up for Facebook. Almost all of your "friends" are relatives. Some are Republicans, others Democrats. You love them all.

But your news feed shows their "likes" and their comments on many different issues. And some "friends" go to extremes, even using profanity and insulting conservatives.

Do you "like" the comments you agree with and ignore the ones you oppose? (This is what I've been doing so far.)

Or do you jump into every discussion and argue for your side on the issues?

Or do you pick and choose which discussions to jump into?

Or do you ignore your friend's "likes" and just "share" your own counter-"likes"?

Or do you simply "un-friend" the people who go so far to the left that they're obnoxious?

What do you do?

Well then, hello. What kind of music does your band play? Obviously Christian. But... what genre?

Everyone loves the blues. :-)

And blues bass lines are the best.

I love it. I write a lot of the music and am the song leader as well. It’s hard to sing and play bass at the same time, but worth it!
