EditTips

  • If your friend says something like "Oh come on. It's only politics" then just say firmly, but politely "No thanks"

EditWarnings

  • When "walking away" try not to look as if you are dumping your friend otherwise they might get upset.
  • Be sure to express how sorry you are and how much you don't want to be part of a political argument, otherwise your friend might ask you again.
