1. I never bring it up, because there are so many more interesting things to talk about.

To me, people who persist in bringing their political beliefs into the conversation just aren't good company, no matter what those beliefs might be. Why? People who talk about politics almost never have an original thing to say. They're repeating the latest outrage that I already read about (possibly a dozen times or more), or they're bringing up something they "saw on Facebook". Honestly, if I cared what people are saying on Facebook (or Twitter, or a talk show, or ... ), I'd read Facebook instead of talking to a real human being.
