You know you're a political junkie when...

1) You start giving your college courses ratings (e.g. "Safe A") and wonder if you should transfer some resources to more "competitive" courses. (I've done this).

[Alcon]

Hah, yeah I've definitely used the Lean/Safe system in very un-political things.  I refuse to say what.

[fezzyfestoon]

Haha I'm embarrassed to say that I can totally relate to this.  I never really thought about it, but I I definitely do it all the time.

[Free Palestine]

Two of my classes are lean-B, another two are safe-C.  Though in my history class, A might just manage to pull off a surprise win.

Uh, even I never did anything like that. Wow.

When you and the lecturer have a 15 minute discussion on the national popular vote compact during a lecture on the US constitution and all the law students look daggers at you and your political student posse.

[Lief 🗽]

I definitely do the lean/safe/toss-up thing with my grades.

[Ban my account ffs!]

This thread is interesting because I've never done anything like that.
