Do you enjoy talking about politics in general?

Question

A lot of the time I don't. Because it's all about keeping people divided, distracted and fighting against one another. So that the people on the top can pay their way into our government on both sides of the isle. For example the chairman of the federal reserve is pushing the idea of lowering wages for the vast majority workers to combat inflation. But still refuses to enact the Dod Frank reforms designed to stamp down the on rates of sky high bonces that cause wall street execs to engage in risky financial practices for the sake of making higher profits. The same kind of financial practices that caused the housing market bubble and caused many of the same wall street execs to make sky high profits off the damn pandemic.

I used to love it. I have come to really hate politics. So many people are just uninformed about the most basic aspects of American politics. And the craziest thing is how sure people are that their ideas are right when they don't even have the most basic fundamental knowledge about a situation and they won't think twice about getting violent and angry at people for disagreeing with them.

Fuck politics, man. Fuck Democracy and letting idiots have opinions. I wish we could trust people to govern themselves, but we just can't.

Not in particular. I like learning about it hearing the different sides. But it gets heated really quickly

No, politics only attracts trolls and bullies. This website is a perfect example of it.
