Since I'm an entrepreneur, I have to be careful where I talk politics. In industry circles, I speak when spoken to directly ... my viewpoint is certainly not the dominate political direction among my peers (there are less than 10 percent of people in my party in this niche). I'm not "afraid" to express my opinions, but I'm prudent about it because I don't want to lose business.
On the other hand, put me in a more public or general setting and I'm willing to start a discussion. Heaven knows, I've had no qualms about sharing my two cents then.
