I care about the general values behind a lot of the issues going on, but I really dont give a fuck about the theatrics that the media subjects us to on a daily basis.

Donald Trump said another dumbass thing. Dumber than yesterday? Click to find out!

Joe Biden says thing that you already know he believes.

Only about 10 percent of political journalism is worth paying attention to.

"I don't care about politics " is pretty much the same sentiment as "i dont care about human life "

politics is war, education, healthcare, law , rights, immigration , jobs , taxes

And you don't care about that?

People throw the word privilege a lot on the internet but if you live a life where you are so separated, wealthy and protected that all those issues dont effect you to the extent that you don't care about them, then you are one privileged motherfucker

Honestly it makes me angry on some level

I cant say Im not empathetic to people who dont care about politics.

The system is often rigged to be as resistant to change as possible. Electoral college throwing away your vote unless you live in a swing state. Gerrymandered districts that min/max votes for local incumbents. Constant assaults on voting accessibility. Politicians that pay lip service to their constituents without doing anything of substance. A general complacency by the establishment with the status quo.

It takes a lot of energy to care, knowing how futile it all is on an individual scale.

Theres more to politics than the presidential election

The only reason the establishment is resistant to change Is because of the apathy of you and others in this topic

When 250 million people go "lol who cares I'm better than all that'" then the establishment gets to do what it likes

And going "Well not caring causes problems so let's not care some more" is the definition of insanity

Imagine if every single person who is privileged enough not to care went after Mitch McConnell instead

Yeah. I have people in my life who will not be fine regardless of who is in office. I understand not giving af if your life will probably be mostly unaffected though. That's just American culture, it is what it is

And I myself do not care enough to engage in political activism, though one day I might. So it's not like I'm a herald of political responsibility. I just follow politics and vote accordingly.

You can still pay it forward and trust me: AoC still doesn't give a rats ass about you

You still make a fair point though.. I just imagine that people didn't have much choice between a semi-racist or a lady touting herself as a Native American for votes. I don't blame them, but at the same time I don't respect them.

Again there is more to politics than the presidential election and the establishment only gets away without change because you're too lazy and spoiled to challenge it.

And yet you rationalize and excuse doing so

its silly

Its not bad to rationalize that lol

Excuse is a fickle word anyways, how many things have people excused themselves for when casting their votes

Usually its under the guise of its for the greater good

I've never been so simultaneously worried and apathetic. I can't not care about politics.

It legitimately pisses me off that there will be people in this country celebrating the results of the Presidential election. Then, they'll dust off their hands and go back to ignoring anything else that matters.
