The biggest problem with politics is that it’s heavily related to age and personality. Debate is also the art of winning an argument. So it’s almost inevitable to end up in a conflict.

Sprinkle on top of that a lack of data while discussing policies and we have a recipe for explosive emotions completely based on opinions and not rooted in reality.

I was very interested in learning different ideologies on the right and the left a couple of years ago. But I eventually stopped because those discussions usually barely move the needle or bring change.

From my observations, either business or working on policies that would be implemented bring some action.

My first job out of college i had 2 senior devs on either side of me. One republican. One democrat.

I loved to hear their arguments and back and forth between coding.

They were good friends but once in a while the debates got loud and the CTO would come in telling them to shut up 🤣
