It's great to discuss politics at Thanksgiving dinner. It saves a fortune at Christmas.

It's not necessary to avoid the topic, just discuss it so that people can respectfully express their views.

I've had a few discussions with people I disagree with politically where we've talked about why we believe our preferred party's methods are better than the alternatives. The people whose views I respect engage in a way that looks at pros and cons, considers what works and what doesn't, acknowledges shortcomings in their approaches and advantages of alternative and opposing approaches, and so on.

I have very little respect for people who simply call me an idiot or worse because I vote one way and they vote the other way.
