Don't you think it's quite ironic that the subject I’m trying to avoid is being discussed in this post?

The outcome of the election affects many people, including me. Whether or not I'm well-informed about everything "kamala" and "trump" do affects no one, since I'm not even an undecided voter in a swing state.
That's not what I am responding to. I am responding to the claim of someone saying politics don't matter at all to anyone ever. I find a great deal of issue with that
As a sidebar, voting still does matter a lot outside of swing states. Down ballot races are often way closer than you'd think even in deep blue or deep red states. Those local races also have a lot more importance than people think
I didn't claim that politics don’t matter at all to anyone ever. That would be a silly thing for me to say.
Maybe not what you intended, but the phrasing there sounded a lot like saying that. "ignore all of those without it mattering" sounds like saying those topics themselves don't matter. That's how I ended up reading it
