Even if you are political, there's usually not a need to share your opinions online. I'm political, but my politics are often irrelevant (especially somewhere like HN). Even when politics comes up, it's not like I write a manifesto. |

I'd say I'm "political" - my username is literally a self-reported political identifier. I often post about various political topics here that I feel strongly about, or where I feel like I have an opinion or context that's uncommon in this community.
What I don't do is get worked up when someone disagrees with me, even if they do so in a rude or dismissive way. After all, most of the time the entire reason I'm commenting is because I believe I have an uncommon/unpopular perspective that I'd like to share. It would be odd to do that and then be surprised when someone doesn't share it.
