Anyone else trapped by Facebook political insanity?

[Proud Public Servant]

44. On the one hand

this is exactly why I have a "no politics on Facebook" rule. It drives me crazy sometimes, because I do have at least one old friend who's a Fox-News-talking-point-spouting Zionist and a cousin who's similar (without the Zionism), and they both post outrageous BS that's just screaming to be countered/corrected. I also have a good friend who's a GOP political operative, but she's more circumspect. So I just leave it all alone; I know what I believe, I know what they believe, and I know no one's going to change anyone else's mind, at least on Facebook.

That being said, you don't have to pick a fight. You could actually respond politely, with something like this:

"Actually, it's a common misconception that the Affordable Health Care for America Act will change our relationship with our doctors. The fact is, it largely regulates the insurance industry, not the medical profession, and so has little impact on those of us who already have insurance and access to medical care."

But like I said, I wouldn't do it; I get where you're coming from.
