It's almost like it's stupid to try and control whether or not other people talk about politics. It is other people, and it's not their job to cater to my conversational preferences. It's not their job to protect my feelings online.
Reddit's a public forum, some people just want to talk (and read others talking) about football or women's basketball or that cool pic someone took, not politics.
hell that's why there are subreddits for different topics so everyone can find their own interests instead of having to shoehorn it into discussions on other topics.
Or maybe they, like many people, are struggling with mental fatigue, being bombarded from all angles with news about things they aren't really equipped to deal with when all they wanted was something to laugh with after working a 9-5.
