    the issue is that ‘political’ people inject their politics into everything, and want to put every comment and commentator into the prejudged boxes they regard as right and wrong.

    they don’t care about what anyone says. just about passing judgement and feeling superior.

      I hate that this is commonly known as “politics”. To me, this is a sports event. I still like to think that politics is about discourse, compromise, coalitions etc.

        that’s cool, but the vast majority of people don’t. for them it’s about whether you are on their team, and how pure your loyalty to their team is. discussion and discourse are violations of that purity.

          Their tribalism is a violation of my purity test. Dumbasses don’t get to redefine what words mean, even if they’re dumb enough to vote for a braindead celebrity.

      The unfortunate part is that politics isn’t necessarily tied to government. People get political over anything they identify with

        Political, or tribal? Political is supposed to mean compromising on solutions to tough and intertwined problems. Not throwing on a jerzy and rooting for your dumbass team regardless of what they do or say…
