"Politics" is a shaky, fluid concept. For example: Talking about a date I went on would be political to a sizable subset of most communities because of the genders involved. Drawing the line there while others are able to speak about their lives freely would alienate a large part of your community.

Politics is not an innocent team sport with few/no consequences for the losing side. Figuring out where to draw the line requires a deep understanding of what is politicized and why.

Politics by itself isn’t necessarily the problem, it’s the tribalism that brings out the worst. Politics is just one outlet that leads into tribalism, just like sports and religion.
