People don’t want to discuss because rational, reasonable takes on politics are met with vitriol and anger. Those attacking don’t actually want a discussion, they want to insult and feel morally superior.
I talk politics with those I’ve felt out first, who can come up against ideas they don’t agree with and are willing to keep it as a discussion rather than an emotional, shit-slinging argument.
Just because people don’t want to discuss politics with YOU doesn’t mean they don’t discuss it with others, and no, not just with people they agree with.
This. I care about the wellbeing of our society and its health via policy. I’m not interested in having conversations about it.
There’s no involvement without discussion.

‘Hey I need some advice about this situation at hand’ is a discussion
‘I want to impose my unsolicited opinion on someone else so I can feel valid’ is an unwelcome sales pitch
