   You can’t write about politics or most current events, not in anyway that might reflect a personal experience, and get your article boosted on @medium. We have to forgo that part of ourselves as unworthy of wider readership.

   If you write about potato salad or camping, you’re fine. Just ignore the elephant in the room that threatens to destroy us, and you can make a few bucks.

     @davidtoddmccarty @medium Where I come from potato salad is a divisive political topic.

     @WarnerCrocker @davidtoddmccarty @medium Is it due to the question of whether raisins should be included in it?

     I didn’t learn about that version of potato salad until I was an adult and still have never tried it.

     Humans are so creative!

     @lydiaschoch @davidtoddmccarty @medium I never experienced the raisin version until later in life. It was about how different versions were prepared. As I recall, the inclusion of dill was a sticking point.
