Political debates on the dev floor are the bane of my existence. I have earbuds, but lately I've just started just leaving the room until it's over and letting the company pay me for the downtime. I am just extremely allergic to contentious political yakking derailing my work. So instead of fighting it, I just let them derail it and take an hour break. I won't pretend like it's the best idea, but I'm still not the one derailing everyone's flow.
