    There are no apolitical people.
    Only people who don’t understand that everything is political.
    When you’re stuck in traffic commuting to work, that’s a result of political decisions made by others.
    When you go to work despite being sick, that’s forced on you by political decisions made by others.
    When you have to decide between buying your meds and buying food, that’s due to political decisions made by others.
    “Apolitical people” just accept (or are forced) to let others dictate how they live.
