I mean it does though? If my wife died because she couldn't get healthcare she needed, I feel like that might maybe affect me.
That's why I wasn't categorical. But I mean you proved my point. If your wife died she'd be the one who suffered and died. Not you.
The point is, politics being like the super bowl is a privilege for some. For others it's life and death. It's almost like saying "Keep politics out of my life" is a relatively lucky/conservative request or point of view.
Again, I would say if my wife died I would maybe suffer? Losing a partner is not just a nothing event....
But I would agree, politics are life and death for certain people, they don't have the luxury of getting to ignore them.
Yes obviously you'd bother suffer.
