"I like politics" = "I like being angry and making others angry"

No. I’m not necessarily trying to make others angry. I care about what goes on in my world, and occasionally I see things that upset me. In the final analysis, politics affect our lives on some level all the time. And to be apolitical especially nowadays is to admit to not caring. 😔

@bijouxbroussard I get that. I don't believe everything is a partisan issue, though. That's mostly where my problem with politics comes in. I tend to be more left-leaning, but I don't consider myself a democrat simply because the titles seem to be counterproductive.

And, in the case of SW, anyone who talks about politics can't help themselves but to try to jerk a reaction from the opposite party. I don't see a lot of progress being made by calling someone a libtard or a republicunt.

@bijouxbroussard There are bad apples on both sides that just make everyone into politics look bad 🤷🏽‍♂️. From what I've observed of you though, you're definitely not one of those.

@BigAssLeech I don’t call names. But I sometimes do ask people if they truly support what some of their heroes represent ?

@SubstantialKick Thank you. 🙏🏽

@bijouxbroussard I'm distrusting of all politicians, unfortunately. On the rare occasions there's somebody I like, they either don't make it, or they become corrupt like everyone else. Seeing all of the corruption and blatant manipulation (ads that only tear down other candidates instead of telling us what they intend to do, etc.) makes me a little indifferent. It's not that I want to be indifferent to politics or that I don't care, I'm just [i]very[/i] tired of it.

@BigAssLeech It’s tiresome, I agree. But it’s going to go on with or without my input. I want to participate while I still can.
