Why do so many people post politics on here?
I don't understand. Most people ignore it and no one ever changes their mind on SW. It seems pointless.

It's called virtue signalling. People essentially think that having a position on a topic makes them noble warriors taking on some moral cause. It's just posturing masquerading as enlightened thought. Most people posting political content have no intentions of stimulating discussions or reaching solutions. They just want the feeling of moral superiority over less interested people.
It's like whenever some tragedy occurs and people slap a filter over their Facebook or Twitter picture. It's just a low-effort way of letting people know you're part of the solution without actually doing any of the mental or emotional work to make it happen
