Yeah but back to my original question, what does “being political” really mean here? Because we’ve established that this is all inherently political and there’s really no way to not be political in this context.

The way she uses it and the way you are using it implies that “being political” is just another way of saying someone is being dissonant, controversial, or are otherwise out of line in a political context. Which I think is harmful and the reason American politics is so fucked. So many of us are uncomfortable with opposing viewpoints and we’d rather not talk about it so we bestow the black mark of “being political” upon those who deviate from the tribal consensus.

Wouldn’t it stand to argue that almost anything to do with Trump is political considering he’s the president and the context here is Trump breaking promises made during a political campaign to persuade people to vote for him in a political election?

I’m being a bit pedantic here. It’s clear what she meant was closer to, “Here’s my controversial take, don’t come after me”. But suggesting that you’re not being political in an inherently political matter just goes to show how little these people actually think critically.

“I don’t want to make this political”

What does that even mean in this context?

Kudos for supporting trans people and you should absolutely get rid of Amazon who’s responsible for union busting and dangerous labor practices that have resulted in the death of their employees.
