I don't talk about politics at work. Simply because I am there to make money. Not talk about things that I really don't have much of an interest in. Politics is a boring fucking subject. It's all the old rich white dudes trying to convince us it's not the old rich white dudes. It's a set game. There are hundreds of things I would rather talk about.
I'm you are talking about politics wrong.... Somehow.
That CAN be what politics discussions are about but that's very echo chamber, negative circle jerk types stuff.
One thing that helps to have more interesting conversations is think on different scales. How are neighborhood politics different from national politics? Not all national issues show up in every community.
How I see things, politicians, of all kinds, are supposed to exist to solve the common problems that enough people face but cannot solve by themselves or their group.
Local politicians can better serve local issues, so start talking about smaller politics when you are crashed into those types of conversations.
Small thing everywhere are more important to most people than large things nowhere. And you can at least get other people to stop talking about the danger dumb shit you address probably suck of hearing about.
It does take a bit of effort to get started but once you do it a few times it's pretty effective (in my experience)
Also if you can tie food into the issue you bring up most people have opinions on food
You're first sentence seems to have a typo and I can't make sense of what you are attempting to say.
Talking of community is different than politics. Politics is leadership that manipulates and has power struggles. Community is quite normal and something I partake and participate regularly through sports and my kid's school.
I have taken political science and have a degree. I understand the subject. But it's fuckin boring.
