gollark: Discussing politics also has the great effect of sometimes alienating people you know.
gollark: Since your probability of deciding an election by voting is not very high, the expected value of that is very low, and - since people are very hard to convince away from their views - it's even worse for *discussing* politics.
gollark: Regardless of how much you think the results of elections and such matter, I contest that for an individual, at least, politics is not very important.
gollark: So I appear to have been timed out: obviously, this is a clear sign that Cap and WS's views are correct and stand up by themselves.
gollark: Please pay attention.
