3. Just give him/her time to respond...
It sounds as if your friend is actually somewhat pained by the idea that the disagreement you have over politics is spilling over into your friendship, and affecting it adversely. I'm not saying you should STOP talking politics, but you should take steps to reassure your friend that you value your friendship together and that your purpose has never been to undermine your friendship.

You should also bring up the fact that obviously both of you are passionate about what you believe, and thank your friend for having an open mind in reading what you are sending him/her. Whatever you do, DON'T STOP sending him/her articles and such so long as he/she doesn't complain.
