Don't worry about the mix of politics or not that you post about. Deliberate self-censorship will only, for lack of a better word, damage your voice -- and those who want to read your journal, want to for that voice. Second-guessing yourself (and your audience), ditto.

Of course, I'm saying that as someone whose journal is written by a persona deliberately constructed to include not-talking-about-politics as part of its voice. Here, have some salt -- it goes well with the pepperrant.
