It’s not that I’m not political, but I don’t see the point in talking about it in every single conversation. Both sides have disgusting people in office who have done horrible things and therefore I will not associate myself with either side and remain as an independent party. I will vote how I see fit based on our current situations but I’m not going to go around talking about my political opinions for small talk. Not everything is political but politics are important to our society!
The cancer research that affects my dads treatment got halted and we had to move clinics. My mom who works for medicaid is losing her job due to budget cuts to medicaid My transgender friends IDs are no longer considered valid People born here, my friends, have gotten detained by ICE and been held illegally. I work for a school system and the 50 schools has been cut to 39 due to DOE cuts to state funding.
Politics isn’t about arguing. It’s not a you are wrong I’m right thing. Arguing is when you let out opinions & emotions without a real solution. Politics is about trying to debate certain beliefs and come to a common ground and solution that will benefit the majority. Politics have created laws that have solved so many things in history it is the reason why you have rights right now. It’s a privilege to have your own rights. I think it’s selfish thing to be non political and never get involved
By voting in people who, once elected, have the power to propose legislation to change those. Voting someone in doesn’t just mean they get to take cool pictures in suits. Is it unreasonable for me to care about politics knowing that the presidential vote caused all of that to happen in my daly life?
