I’m a political person, and I’m well educated on the candidates and issues, not only for the national elections but also local and some international.
Still, I don’t like to discuss politics. I find that too often it results only in arguments and poor logic.
When people start talking politics, I just politely (I think) say, “Sorry, I don’t like to discuss politics.” and leave it at that. But that tends to irritate people… they get quite offended and think that I’m either being stuffy about my views or that I’m ignorant and just trying to save face.
So how can I politely tell people that I don’t wish to discuss the matter? I’m quite sick of making people mad at me.
