I think the Iran Deal's an important one. I'm on the fence on the issue- on the one hand, there are legitimate arguments that the deal wasn't doing enough to make sure Iran wasn't developing nukes. On the other hand, there are legitimate arguments that it was definitely doing more than without a deal. And there are actually arguments that the deal was harming the Iranian regime more than without it. So yeah, purely on the fence, idk what to think.

Net neutrality. I've never really taken the time to familiarize myself with the issue, though I know it drives great passion among those who understand it.

In the US-politics context, I think immigration is a very unimportant issue.

Well it is tough to think of an area where I don't have an opinion where most everyone else does, unless for example one thinks that most everybody has an opinion on how best to deliver a reasonable level of medical care to everybody irrespective of means in the most cost effective way that affords some ability of individuals to pick and choose how they get their health care and from whom, and out of their own pocket, to top up and pay for more health care. If that is true, than that, because I have not really formed an opinion on that very complex issue.

I have opinions on healthcare, but unlike many, I don't have strong feelings about exactly what system is best for achieving universal healthcare. People are throwing around terms I don't know and discussing various countries' ways of doing healthcare and I can't even understand most of it.

Yeah, I don't quite have the visceral, emotional reaction to immigration as an issue the way others seem to.

To be quite honest, I also experience the same meh feeling towards abortion as immigration - there are two really emotional poles, each with reasonably decent arguments (assuming good faith arguments are made) for their position and I'm just over here to the side thinking hey! these are both somewhat persuasive arguments and I don't really think or care enough about either to form a solid opinion.

Surely you have an opinion on the former being waved around inside the latter?
