How important are politics to your identity?

In some of the surveys I take (remember we aren’t allowed to talk names of survey sites here on Mylot) they ask how important politics are to your identity. I always say they aren’t important at all. Some people seem to live and breathe politics, but I don’t really factor them into who I am.
What about you guys?

They don't define who I am so not important

@AmbiePam Politics is right up there for me and it is integral to my identity. I want to see the hungry fed, the downtrodden lifted up, the foreigner respected, all people treated equally and with dignity - that’s politics for me and it’s who I am. Party politics is something else and it’s just about getting power and looking after your own sort.

I would say it is pretty central to me, and I believe what I believe. That doesn't mean I think people who believe differently are bad people, *but some are." Most are just either naive, or it is part of their tradition.

I can take or leave politics just as long as i know some deranged politician isn't going to come and shoot me,

I keep quiet about my political views since it is a very sensitive subject.

I am a conservative but I don’t feel like being a Republican defines me
