Do politics allow people to argue about things they know little about?

Everyone feels like they need to have an opinion or input in politics, even when they know very little. I know I wouldn't comment on how to perform brain surgery when all I know are parts of the brain.

It has become true that in politics, opinions are facts, and facts don't matter.

    I agree.

    People just spew stuff, I find facts, research history, listen to both views and I have been listening to politics since I was a little nerd. Even tho this is the only thing I am nerdy about o.O

    So in main point, I agree. Dam!
