    I think everyone does politics. However, many people just don’t have an opinion on something because they don’t know enough and don’t have the mental capacity to

    1. Keep up with everything and
    2. Research enough about a topic to have an educated opinion.

    Life is hard enough for many people as it is.

      Everyone does do politics, and everyone is affected by them, even if they don’t realize they’re being negatively or positively affected. My mind goes to bicycle infrastructure when I think about this. Everyone can cycle, and it has physical benifits for your health, which people of any class can appreciate. Additionally, even if you don’t want to ride a bike or use public transit, you’ll appreciate the roads being clearer, and populated with only those that want to drive. The funding for these things is political, and everyone benifits from them, even those too dumb to realize it.
