I don’t like to talk about politics. I also don’t like working, cooking, taking the trash out, cleaning, etc. etc. I DO it, because it HAS to be done. There is no systemic good which comes that does not in some way come from participating in politics.
I don’t talk politics with CERTAIN PEOPLE. People who engage in bad faith, whose highest political priority is fucking over someone else, rather than lifting everyone else up, who celebrate ignorance and cruelty. Any political ideology which is built on such foundational principles can be shut out of all political discussion by those with better, smarter, kinder ones.
Me and you might not agree on how to GET us there, but we share the goal of making things better and easier for the greatest number of people. If we don’t, there’s nothing to discuss, and so I won’t talk politics with you.
