Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

I'm sure this is the case for some people, but I personally know many people that actively avoid all politics. It's difficult to get them engaged with it, but I'm slowly seeing success

Around you, maybe. Maybe you're the reason why they don't want to talk politics.... with you

No actually, they don't like politics at all. I'm managing to get them to engage and realize that a lot of their problems aren't individualized. They aren't just a bunch of strangers, they're my friends and family. I know them enough to know how they feel about politics.
