Yes. It matters if my friend thinks Gay people and trans people should be sent to camps and stripped of any rights. This is politics. So..yea. that matters.
It matters if my friends hate people because of where they came from or the color of their skin. Yes. It matters.
It matters if my friends would vote for a person who wants to take away my right to make a decisions for myself and whether i want to carry a baby or not. Or whether I want to take a pill or not. Or whether my daughter or any woman can do any of those things...like get a divorce....or have a job ....or have a baby or not have a baby.
This is all politics.
Politics lead to laws which affect your life.
"I dont do politics" is just another way of saying "I dont honestly care what happens to other people as long as it doesn't affect me" to pretend your friend is good people while voting for bad things is a form of cognitive dissonance.
