>Everyone wants to be able to have their political opinions, try and convince others, and not get fired.

In fact, many people do not want to try and have others convince them of their political leanings.

Yeah, THIS.

Trying to convince other people of MY political leaning goes against one of the central political leaning that I have: Everyone should have freedom to believe in whatever they want to believe in. I also find it annoying when other people try to shove their believe down my throat.

I try to view political discussions as helping to spread information and confront one's own biases. Most people don't seem to though. I've had people that I agree with politically on a subject yell and curse at me because I don't believe every bullshit "fact" they sling my way.
