I’m posting here rather than the Dungeon because this is, in my mind, related to audio.BTW, anybody else notice the foul odor over in the Dungeon forum lately?
Anyway, my conclusion, right or wrong, is that most ART participants are comfortably middle class and predominantly American citizens. As such I assume that they are reasonably well educated and have enough leisure time to read a newspaper or watch a news program, however irregularly. I assume, then, that ART posters are generally politcally aware.
If the forgoing is true, I wonder why no one here has broached the subject of electoral politics? – not very much else has been off limits.
The reason for my curiosity is that the US electorate is supposed to be so politically divided, so passionately opinionated this year concerning the presidential elections.
Does the fact that ART participants don’t mention politics put the lie to the popular myth? Are people really not that interested?
Do people interested in audio shun other things? Lack an interest in current events & politics?
Is everybody looking for a place to get away from politics, and consequently avoid the subject on ART?
I am politically passionate, and I’m very curious what others think about this
