Never a good idea. My lesson has just been learned.

I usually keep my mouth shut until they come out and tell me what party they support. Politics and work often don't mix well.

My coworkers share my politics and we work in a very politicaly oriented industry, so around here all is well.


I stand corrected, you are as vapid as they say.

My co-workers are generally more conservative than I. They tolerate me and my happy dances.

That would mean I had to talk to my co-workers, and that's something I just can't do.

I work in a very conservative office. Pretty much only the two women in my dept. are the only other non-republicans here. But we do end up having some very lively discussions with others in the office.

I was at meeting at 11:00 PST and stated that I could not wait to get back to my office to read the indictments.

A few just rolled their eyes. A couple agree.

SG, I love the "once you get older you'll see the light" arguement. My family has been giving me that one since I tried to campaign for Mondale in elementary school. Then they said the same as I did it for Dean and Kerry last year.

If I have children they will be raised by a proud liberal, it is that simple.

i'm with bobby. i didn't even know that talking to my co-workers, or rather being spoken to BY my co-workers, was an option.

SP - how are you feeling today? Better?

I hope so.

re: Talking Politics with Co-workers#13

penguin, have you been sick, my sweet? I hope you're better now!


And, Elphaba, you are SO right. Not only is everyone Republican, but more than half are Catholic. Ew. But, you know, this is just a chance for me to hear other people's POVs and, when I disagree, either shut the hell up or form a cognizant intelligent reply. But mostly I'm just going to stay away from this stuff anymore.

In some corners of my family the 3 taboo topics are Religon, Politics, and anything else!
My dad was so right wing, he made Archie Bunker look like Ted Kennedy! No wonder I am a knee jerk liberal.

Well, I just found out I work in a fairly conservative office. No good. A man that I really like otherwise told me that once I have kids, I'll change my views.

You mean when you're older and start making illogical decisions based on your insecurity towards change?

That is when, exactly.

Yes, I have been sick all week. I even missed out on all the BWW fun and meltdowns. I am much better now!

Exactly, my Wizard friend! Are you a closet conservative?

Aw, shoot, did I miss some more meltdowns? Damnit! I wish I could get some advance notice on these things. I'm glad you're feeling better!

Heellllllllllll, NO. My brand of liberalism is off the charts in the American political climate! "Even the most right-wing Canadian is considered liberal in the United States." -- Thom Yorke of Radiohead.

Right, of course. Once you have children you'll magically become conservative. Which is why my dad has a picture of Bush with a mustache drawn on it in a fit of pique on his desk.

Discussing politics with friends or co workers will always lose you friends

Where I work ( small company) the people there are not politically motivated. Even if they were, politics no longers interests me so it is a moot point. i try & avoid it like the plague

Thank goodness the mayors race (NYC) will be over in a few weeks so I will no longer have to listen to what a great guy he is. Interested ( not )

Not interested in politics and yet you make a point to convey to us in almost every political thread your lack of interest in politics. Hmmmmmm.

I work in a pretty liberal to moderate office. Even are conservatives are still fairly moderate. After all, it's Los Angeles. re: Talking Politics with Co-workers

We frequently discuss politics, sex, and sex with politicians.
