Having political friends is like having a GF who doesn't like your friends

I like them but it's such a bummer to be around. If I tell them I listen to Joe Rogan podcasts they moan and start complaining about politics. Or "oh you like that person, you must be one of them".

I'm pretty neutral, I realized politics is a waste of time and I like to live my own life 🤷 so if I don't lean into whatever opinion it is some people label you.

It's dumb because I'm so chill 😂 I think so many are radicalized or don't really think for themselves.

I'm a politics nut and could talk about it all day but I realise it's not for everyone.

I just don't see the point in talking to someone about something that they are not interested in.

@Burnley123 I don't mind discussing events from time to time, it's just when someone's personal politics starts to dictate their interactions with me in a negative way.

@Burnley123 Yeah genuinely, I have friends who don't wanna talk politics. So I don't. Simple. I have more to offer lol

@CountScrofula I know they your workplace id very political ( in multiple ways lolz) but I never talk politics with colleagues. My teaching assistant is centre right but I also like her as a person.

@Burnley123 Don't you find it to be draining when people can't disagree with you without calling you names, though??? I know I do...
