If someone claims to be "apolitical" it's a huge red flag, in itself.

Exactly. Politics affect every little instance of your daily lives, from the taxes you pay, through the type of food you buy (local or imported?), to the sex of people you can get married to.

Being apolitical is just being ignorant.

The strategy is to just vote and move on. Don't spend too much time on politics.

Generally means they're either clueless or that they want to delete particular views.

I do have concerns about this instance and free speech, but I haven't bothered to do enough research yet. I'd love to hear more about it either way.

I also hate that I sometimes have to get off of a platform to talk about that platform. I was effectively copying things done for the League of Legends subreddit to here, and I didn't really feel comfortable talking about it in Reddit DMs.
