What? No they aren’t. A discussion about my week or grocery shopping isn’t political. You can make any discussion political, but that’s not at all the same.

- taeric 4y agoYou'd be surprised. Folks will pick brands for political reasons, too. More, folks will band against brands for said reasons. I mean, you are correct that there can be neutral discussions. Typically, neutral isn't as neutral as you'd think.
- TobyTheDog123 4y agoThat would be an example of people making something political out of a non-political issue. Both people and companies can be guilty of this. "Oh, I ran into Lucy at the supermarket today" "Awesome, did they have that new brand of ice cream?" "I didn't see it, but they did have a massive sale on strawberries." "Darn, I guess I'll check Market Cart next time I go." --- "Oh, I ran into Lucy at the supermarket today" "Did you hear she voted for Tom?" "Oh... uh, no?" "I dont know how people can enable such evil. Did they have that new ice cream?" "No, but they did have a massive sale on strawberries" "Oh, I heard they donated to Tom, so I don't want it in my house anyways."

- solarmist 4y agoI agree, but you’re being pedantic. Most discussions people have not about political topics wouldn’t be viewed as such even if individual decisions, such as your brand example, were politically motivated.
