If you post something deriding a candidate, you will likely aggravate a number of friends. If you do it often, the offended parties might select to hide your posts (eliminating opportunities to catch their attention with posts about your shop) or unfriend you (in which case, they&#8217;ll probably select a different florist).<\/p>\n<p>Even if you pen a thoughtful, intelligent and respectful post, you just might have a friend who can&#8217;t resist the urge to comment with something obnoxious. Their potential nastiness becomes your dirty laundry, broadcasted\u00a0online for all to read.\u00a0I witness this approximately 10 times a day. It makes me feel all kinds of negative emotions, from embarrassment for from friends to despair about the decline of civility.<\/p>\n<p>In my (humble) opinion: the proper channel\u00a0for political discourse is face-to-face with close friends who will love you even if they do not agree with you. Discussing heated\u00a0issues in person allows\u00a0for facial expressions and body language, real-time questions and the chance to say &#8220;time out&#8221; if people get too upset.
