There's no problem with publicly engaging in politics. In fact, it's a great thing to do.

What is a problem is doing it on an environment where participation is mandatory or required for basic survival.

I think generally people are I'll equipped to engage publicly in politics. Politics is an extremely dirty game and can be extremely divisive.

My friends are willing to give me the benefit of the doubt. Strangers usually only offer shallow ridicule and trolling- especially online.
