If you want more than politics on the blog server
...post more.

See, the part you are ignoring... is that when a new potential blogger looks at the blog roll, they see politics on party lines, and not much else. It makes people reluctant to even post, because it looks like the whole theme is politics. Don't you people have lives outside your political party? Why don't you post about them as well, in a personal blog? It might even inspire more readership on your party blog, if they don't think you're just a party tool.

Don't lay this blame before me. It is you, the non-politics bloggers, who are absent day after day.
It's not my fault someone chooses not to blog. The part that
YOU'RE ignoring is: if someone didn't like seeing too much politics on the
blog server, they should start a blog to try to change that.
I don't post about my life outside politics for several reasons:
1) I am a college student, like everyone else. What would the mundane
ins-and-outs of my personal life add to the quality of this blog server?
Nothing. I don't want to become one of those people who blogs about their inane
personal lives.
2) I choose not to share my personal life. That's why it's
"personal."
Also, it's ridiculous that you insinuate I'm merely a tool of the
party. I don't get a memo each morning detailing what I should blog
about. I blog about what I
choose, and any assertion to the contrary is frankly laughable.
