People don’t want to discuss because rational, reasonable takes on politics are met with vitriol and anger. Those attacking don’t actually want a discussion, they want to insult and feel morally superior.
I talk politics with those I’ve felt out first, who can come up against ideas they don’t agree with and are willing to keep it as a discussion rather than an emotional, shit-slinging argument.
Just because people don’t want to discuss politics with YOU doesn’t mean they don’t discuss it with others, and no, not just with people they agree with.
There’s no involvement without discussion.

‘Hey I need some advice about this situation at hand’ is a discussion
‘I want to impose my unsolicited opinion on someone else so I can feel valid’ is an unwelcome sales pitch
