Maybe I'm jaded or high or my experiences over 25 years in federal, state (in 3 states in highly distinct areas of the country) and local politics are far out of the norm, but I find it shocking that educated person would find the politics board to be so contentious or partisan that it would scare them away. That board is nothing compared with the reality of politics. On any given night in any major city you have adults from all walks of life and politic stripes screaming at local officials in city council and assorted city board meetings. In seattle where everyone is left of the center of the democratic party I can't count the number of city council meetings I have been at where people call the city council members facists and nazis. Maybe you all live in nicey-nice land, but I have never seen it, from the Northeast, to DC to the midwest to the west coast. The DU is a more bareknuckle board than our PB and they are all on the same side. Except for Hank's socks. And mine.
