I don't think we're revolutionizing the political landscape here at The Warpath, but don't underestimate how regular discussion of any kind can influence your attitude and behavior.
I take everything here with a grain of salt (in dmek's case I use a whole salt shaker), but I have without a doubt learned a great deal from the few people on here who can articulate a cogent argument, whether I disagree with it or not. I've grown to appreciate and respect a great number of viewpoints that I previously didn't understand, all thanks to discussions here on "a football forum."
We're probably not changing the world as a whole, but don't underestimate the impact you can have on someone's viewpoints or especially their view of the people you support. Why needlessly turn people off to your candidate by spewing a non-stop stream of immature political vitriol? You just make yourself look bad and that reflects poorly on the party and/or issues that you genuinely support.
