I don't enjoy talking politics. It always results in either me self censoring or the loss of a friendship. I can't find a middle ground.
That's how I often feel too, but I blame the other person(s), rather than the topic.
I've had really good conversations about politics with people who hold radically different views, because we were both interested in the ideas.
I avoid any conversation when I sense the person I'm talking to is too close-minded to entertain views other than their own. Then I avoid those people going forward.

That’s rarely a conversation in my experience… just people talking at you.
