There's no way in a million years I'll care what someone says about politics if they have no experience. Same with finance. Prove you are rich, got rich, etc... before you spout off about money. Same with health, girls, whatever.... Politics is just the funniest one. Dudes blah blah blah pontificating about blah blah blah when they spent their entire life shoveling snow and the only politician they have seen is on Netflix. Same with law. People acting as if their brain will magically understand everything taught in law school from a few movies and a beer. Then we have the clowns, who watch the talking heads, see a documentary on YouTube, and are ready to debate Plato. I think they get worked up and super mad because their brain is actually telling them to be frustrated with the lack of knowledge about a particular subject. I do feel bad for anyone who wastes their time on politics. Either actively try to change things, run for office, start a movement, petition, etc... or just forget about it all and go exercise. Please give us ONE example of how a past comment (preferably a decade old or longer) actually changed the course of history. hahahhahahhahahahhahahhahahahah Of course it's your right. It's awesome. Freedom to waste your time doing whatever forever. That's fine. Great value to society and your family. I'm just saying to maybe think about being more efficient with your time. This post took me three minutes. I'm done. People have spent over a decade, hours a day, yelling at Trump from a studio apartment in Hua Hin. I'm just confused. I remember seeing rich retirees from Florida back in the 90's do the same thing. Argue all day, all day. That's their community. That's their identity. That's their life. Banter is one thing, but these old timers were really getting bad. What a life. Wrestle with your friends in your teens and 20's, then grow up. People comment on political issues for various reasons, even if they aren't experts. Some do it to stay informed about different perspectives, while others find it a way to learn and engage with the issues, even if it's in a way that feels like they are participating in a "deliberative democracy". Commenting can also lead to deeper cognitive elaboration of the content, enhancing political learning. Moreover, social media platforms provide a space for people to express their opinions and understand how others perceive political matters. Here's a more detailed look: Staying informed: Social media users who follow political figures they disagree with often cite the desire to stay informed about both sides of an issue as a primary reason for engagement. Learning from others: Commenting on political content, unlike just "liking," can lead to a deeper understanding and cognitive processing of the topic, resulting in greater political learning. Participating in a public discourse: Online comment sections can be seen as a way to engage in a more democratic process, allowing citizens to share their opinions and understand the views of others on various issues. Expressing opinions and values: People comment on political content to share their views, perspectives, and values, which can be seen as a way to participate in the political process. Finding a sense of community: Online comments can create a sense of community among like-minded individuals who share similar political perspectives. Countering misinformation: Some individuals comment to clarify facts or address false information that may be circulating online. Influencing public opinion: While not necessarily expert, commenting can be a way to try to influence the views of others on a particular political issue. In essence, commenting on political issues, even without expertise, can be a way to be informed, learn, express oneself, participate in public discourse, and potentially influence the opinions of others.
