I agree with everything you have stated in your blog. At work we have talked about politics, and we have been able to keep it civilized by allowing everyone to speak and not yelling. Our leadership has not told us who they are voting for b/c it shouldn't matter.
The one thing I would like to add is that I feel actors, athletes, singers, etc. abuse their power when it comes to politics. They use the Media to influence viewers to vote in their favor whenever possible.
I went to a concert this weekend and at the end, the band leader said "Have a great night, a good future, and let's hope for 4 years of Democrats". I'm sorry, but I don't think that's appropriate, no matter what party your in favor of.
