What should I do if I get dragged into political conversations? (lemmygrad.ml)

Some months ago, i was in a cosplay convention and there was a political organization called the women's league of voters. The person that was promoting the organization called me and she asked me some questions about voting. I told her I am against voting but in a very outlandish and vauge way because I was afraid I would give out too much information on my politics.

This made me wonder what should I do if I get sucked into political conversations. Do any of you guys have any advice?

I usually take all sides so nobody can tell my beliefs. Just go full cynic and troll them.

I certainly don’t do that but it’s fun when you know enough to make counter points against your own argument and then debunk them. Then you really seem in control of the debate.

proceeds to anticipate all counter arguments so perfectly that you’re just reading a book of theory for an hour
