No one's Facebook posts changed my mind on any issues or candidates. Some came close to alienating me, but none changed my mind. I did make it through the season without actually clicking unfriend because I actually know most of my Facebook friends in person, and in daily life, they're all decent people I'd expect to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with piling sandbags, or searching for the missing, or distributing rations, or raising funds, etc. We shouldn't let politicians divide us for their electoral benefit. They don't care about us as much as would should care about each other. Which all sounds sappy, except I really mean it.
This particular Facebook post garnered a lot of positive reaction, from people on all points of the political spectrum, so I add it here for posterity's sake:
