I actually do find this stuff interesting, but it's hard to talk about it without partisans flooding in with their talking points. I do generally agree with you about the particular political figures not being that interesting, though.
Yeah, that's what I'm getting at. Partisanship is boring and the arguments fall flat on me. They are so tired and worn out. I have opinions on Trump and RFK and Biden but really don't care to waste my time writing about it or talking about it. Gets really old.

Not all partisans are stubborn and not all talking points are wrong.

That's certainly true, but talking points are boring because we've all heard them 1000 times already.

Fair enough
My problem is with the pejorative use of “talking point” to dismiss a valid argument
My lefty friends call me Mr talking points if I say anything they disagree with
Sometimes I say something not realizing it’s a talking point. I don’t carry notecards
