In dcm world if a stance isn't purely partisan then it's not political.
It's a common theme among people who fancy themselves centrist or independent.
I was trying to touch on the issue without getting into politics. Not because I'm a centrist or independent, but because I think the more political you get in a conversation with someone that doesn't agree with you the more likely it is to devolve into angry bickering where people just treat each other like pieces of excrement.
I still find myself inherently obnoxious butting into political issues far more than I should (thankfully 99% of it is on here) but talking politics is such a freaking miserable thing. Social media has just turned all things political into such a nasty bitter thing. Yeah Trump has made things worse, but it was horrendous long before Trump was even a thought
And as obnoxious as I am, I do make every effort to run in terror from the extremely toxic excrement, like that you see everytime certain members of this board interact
