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 usually avoid it too. But I also observe it. In my heart I know what's going on recently is very wrong. I see lots of people just giving up. It's not like I have much faith in humanity either, but I will still stand up for kids, elderly, women, immigrants, disabled and the oppressed. I have to do what I can. It shouldn't be about politics though.

@MarbleMarvel same here.. I'm not trying to be oblivious or offer too many opinions. I just wanna observe & have real thoughts without having to argue over them. That seems to be a hard balance for most people though
