Politics affects your life in basically every way you could possibly think of, regardless of your apathy towards it.

When you’re apathetic, these decisions don’t just disappear. You implicitly delegate them to everyone else. Now, knowing what you know about most people, does that sound like a wise idea?

It’s sort of like saying “I don’t care where we eat” in your friend group, and then they choose sushi and you hate fish. Whoops.

Yep, 100%. It's unavoidable.

Being able to vote? You have that right because people engaged in politics.

Being educated for free as a child? Politics.

Clear air to breath? Politics.

5 day work week? Politics.

Not held in chattel slavery? Politics.

Allowed to worship at a church of your choosing - or not worship at all? Politics.

Our entire modern lives were built by people engaging in politics. Ignoring political issues is wreckless and shortsighted.
