I generally hear this sentiment from those who are self proclaimed “centrists” and are relatively unaffected by politics. It’s a little sad how many people think political discussion shouldn’t take place in democratic countries.

There's a difference between discussion and the five-minute hate where people recite a list of manufactured transgressions.

Most people who say we should discuss politics more seem to mean that we should affirm the local viewpoint.
