I'd actually love to see more people write/talk about politics. I get why some people choose not to delve into that subject, since it could alienate part of their followers, but I think it's important.

I also find myself not wanting to discuss certain topics, despite having pretty strong opinions about them. One example is the somewhat prominent antivax movement here on Steemit. I just tend to avoid looking at those posts altogether, because the only sort of comment I can give on those posts would be a fairly negative one.

In the end, I'm afraid that it could set some pretty powerful people here against me. Not going to name anyone for that reason.

I know my example isn't really about politics, but it's somewhat related.
