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

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

That's not at all how the person I was replying to phrased it. They said it didn't matter for anyone at all ever

That's what I take far more issue with

EDIT: And to clarify, I am responding to the general claim that none of this matters to anyone ever. That is what I take issue with. The claim the political process as a whole can be ignore despite the consequences of it


Not trans people

Not gay peoole

Not immigrants

Not people on Obamacare

Not people who like having a functional national weather service (Project 2025 wants to eliminate it)

Not the parents of kids in schools (project 2025 wants to also eliminate the department of education)

And so on

You may not think politics affects you, but its outcomes certainly do. Even if it didn't, someone you care about can absolutely be affected

"Concepts of a plan" is probably the best quote imo
