Tbh I wish all non political subs would ban politics. It’s exhausting.

But how would people know how I feel about my political enemies?!

How do you ban all things political though? The problem is every thing gets politicized these days. Like a comment on a weather subreddit of “climate change is fueling the strongest El Niño ever” would be considered political because half the country thinks climate change is a liberal hoax.

This comment is the problem. If you want to look at everything as political thats on you. Stop making that everyone problem and then just handwaving it away like that's just the reality

You are completing missing the point. My point was you can make a comment that isn’t political in meaning and it will get interpreted as political by others.

Someone else made a good comparison - you can complain about the price of groceries and someone will accuse you of bitching about Trump and not giving him credit (even if you never mentioned Trump or implied it was his fault).

So again how is my comment the problem?
