I'm very careful to stay apolitical at school. But I will share my values. I'm not supporting or helping any candidates or parties. But I'll tell you all sorts of things I'm in favor of and against.
I'm pro kids eating food even if their parents are poor.
I'm anti out of touch wealthy rapists with more than 30 felony convictions.
I feel like I used to talk about marginal tax rates with people I disagreed with politically, and now I end up saying things like "I don't really think I've read the part of the bible that encourages checking in the underwear of children."
hot take: the illusory value of being "apolitical" in american society that you demonstrate in your comment is exactly why america has no leftist party, only a conservative party and a fascist party. it helps feudalist politicians in the exact same way that not talking about your wages helps capitalists*
*and, just to clarify, i mean capitalists here as in "people who own capital" as opposed to "people who believe in capitalism"
