        unfortunately for me and many others like me, politics is life due to simply existing at the intersection of every major national political topic for the last 35 years.

        calling it “politics” divorces it from reality and frames it as purely theoretical even though it’s not true; anyone calling it that is either clueless, privileged, or dog whistling. (sometimes 2 or all 3).

          see that’s the problem though, it’s literally not life. You can go through the great depression without dying (probably)

          Politics not existing for a little while isn’t going to kill someone.

          90% of politics is just performative bullshit anyway.
