Social Media is not your Political Platform
It’s appalling how many people use social media to try to
convert me to their political party.
News Flash: It’s SOCIAL MEDIA. I go there to be SOCIAL – as well
as get away from the everyday, hustle and bustle real world, which quite
frankly, is pretty damn scary and depressing.
Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, Snap Chap, Peach, Google,
Instagram, MySpace [who is still using this?]) – all of that is purely for
entertainment purposes. Or, for keeping up with family members – which for
some, is also entertainment.
The differing views (religious, political, nutritional,
etc.) are in the thousands and sparking debate, controversy and hatred is not
the avenue to promote peace. In fact, it has the opposite effect. Nobody cares
about your opinions, especially if they don’t align with theirs.
Also, if you ARE getting your political information ([sic] Facts) from Facebook or Twitter, then you really have no basis to spout your claims. Everything on the internet is false. (It's True - I read it on the internet)
Keep Social Media Social! For Pete’s sake – it’s supposed to
be all about what folks had for dinner, photos of their amazing vacations that
we didn’t take, what Greek God or Goddess most aligns with your personal
information so that you can be on several advertising venues, and cat videos.
