I have Posted elsewhere on my own Wall before that ALL artists have political inclinations, but not all of them agree with yours.

The accusation that an artist has no political inclinations usually comes from someone who desires to urge the artist to rally to his side. That person usually calls the artist a "fence-sitter". 

Since everyone has political inclinations, however, artists included, there is no such thing as a "fence-sitter". When you perceive someone as a "fence-sitter" it is because he is satisfied with the current political situation and finds no need to take any action. He says nothing because, out of compassion for you, he does not wish to upset you.

You have to fight your own battles without the cooperation of others, and others will fight their own battles too. It's called democracy.
