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
