Probably nobody.
Who will win the elections then? The forces whose supporters do talk politics with friends.

- nottorp 2y agoThat's some US cultural thing, i think. Possibly because you only have two real political options. If we're philosophising, the isolated suburb life style precludes having a friend group and forces humans - because they need to belong - into tribal allegiances towards larger groups: political, sports fans, some church, Rust, "AI"...
- boxed 2y agoIt's a human thing. In Rome it was chariot teams. Suburbia isn't to blame.
