Politics - Struggling to stay on topic

Why do people struggle to stay on topic? I often see discussions about Harris where people immediately bring up Trump, even though the original question doesn’t mention him at all.

The same thing happens to the other side—someone says something about Trump, and suddenly Harris gets dragged into the conversation, even when she has nothing to do with the actual question.

It feels like more and more people are dodging the actual point, behaving like politicians instead of addressing the question or statement at hand. Many of y'all would benefit from going back to the basics, relearning how to respond directly and thoughtfully to the subject at hand. a lot of people are so freaking obsessed with this crap your loosing your ways of being open minded and critically thinking about things. Try staying on point. ✌

It's called deflection. When people can't answer a legitimate question, they pivot immediately and deflect and attack.
