#WritersCoffeeClub 15: Should writers be honest about their politics or keep quiet?

You have politics—I have informed opinions!

(Insofar as fiction is the examination of the human condition by means of discourse with imaginary friends, and insofar as the personal is political, it's impossible to keep personal politics out of fiction. But there's a huge difference between letting it inform the world-view presented by a story, and battering the reader with ideological talking points.)
