"Popularity"?

Personally, I hate politics. - 1pg

------------------

Politics? It is a fine word and a fine topic. Would you prefer "Current Events"? or maybe "Current Events so long as the topic can't impact on government policy or elections".

Seems like that exclusion would shield someone from any knowledge of what may be coming that could impact them, their safety, their prosperity, their freedoms. There are a lot of people who hide from politics. I mostly feel sorry them being so detached, but maybe they are the smart ones in actuality, ignorance is bliss has some truth to it. My only problem with detached people is many still vote, and usually pull the Dem handle because the purple haired activist with the nose ring who registered them told them to vote that way. The certainly can't arrive at an informed decision to vote D without exposing themselves to the dreaded "Politics".
