CMV: There's nothing wrong with being Apolitical

Now being Apolitical ≠ Political Apathy. That's where I think the confusion lies. A person can still believe in an idea of basic human rights, have a basic understanding of civics, come to their own conclusions of which candidate is better without subscribing to a political ideology or having a deep interest in politics.
Political apathy is full disengagement due to indifference while being Apolitical can be a stance based on skepticism between political ideologies. As an individual I've come to the conclusion that most people let their political biases, labels, and ideological beliefs govern their entire way of thinking leading them to an echo chamber. This leads many from either side to become radicalized and come to irrational conclusions about certain things even when their side is in the wrong. I don't think the left is right and wrong about everything the same way I don't think the right is correct or incorrect about everything. So instead of subscribing to one side to another I simply just disengage in any political rhetoric.
Does that mean I can't have an opinion on major world issues? Of course not, but that doesn't mean that I ought to have a political leaning overall. Po

Honestly, this comes across more reactive than planned which is why this is getting picked apart

Stepping back, the timing matters more than people admit which is why the comments look the way they do That’s what changes the context.

there’s a lot said here but not much clarified We’ll see how people react over time. That’s the impression it gives me.

Just reading this, the direction makes sense but the details are messy and that’s where the disagreement starts Feels like an opening move, not an ending.
