      Some people are apolitical because they can’t decide if we should install a stop sign on second avenue or instead use that money to repaint the crosswalk.

      Some people are apolitical because they can’t decide if it’s ok for cops to kill innocent mothers in their car or not.

      Because politics encompasses almost everything, to be truly politically neutral would mean having no strong views on anything in life.

      It’s possible to be neutral on certain topics, but to be fully neutral you’d have to have no real opinions on economics, immigration, the military, the role of religion, equality, education…

      So the quote is saying you can’t truly be neutral on everything, what specific things are you actually neutral on.
