I hate political conversations. I don't fully know why it annoys me

Maybe it's because I've never educated myself on politics. & Maybe part of that is because everyone thinks their opinions are absolute & aren't able to talk about things understandably. There always has to be "sides" to pick which means there's always arguments.

I'm not really the type to pick sides. People can be right about some things & wrong about others. What's good for some people, might not be good for other people. Fact of the matter is there's not a lot of "right" or "wrong" in politics. Everything affects everyone differently which I suppose is why democracy even exists in the first place.

I usually listen but I don't typically offer an opinion. I don't think I know enough but I also find it hard to wanna learn when political conversations just suck overall. I'm not glad to be a felon now but I'm glad nobody can guilt me for not voting... I'm not allowed to 🤷

I feel like on a lot of issues, you're right. People assume that their opinions are definite facts, and a lot of them don't even bother showing a source for what they claim. You can easily state that the truth is probably somewhere in the middle on most issues.

There's a couple of them I would say I absolutely do have facts rather than opinions on, but I'm sure you wouldn't disagree with me on those issues, anyway.
