I hear you. No one on my f-list has bothered to do so, and though it's their LJ, I just don't enjoy reading the political content. I felt the same way you did during the last election - and I can't say I'm much looking forward to the next one. If my "side" wins, I feel like I can't say anything, because I don't like rubbing things in people's faces, or alienating my friends who don't agree with me, and but if my "side" loses, I have to listen to it from everyone else. So I can't win either way. Sigh.
