I've never met someone who says they're not political who is actually not political. They just prefer to think about the things they care about as "above politics" or don't want the heat for their opinions.

I'm not political, I just think you should work your whole life for rich people and get a small fraction of that in return.

I say not political because I haven't studied our politics and I know basically nothing about it. Otherwise I'd get "What's your opinion on what [name I never heard of] posted on their Facebook profile yesterday morning?"
Perhaps not so specific, but I don't know the people and what's going on.

It's a lot of history, specific events, constantly something new, and I have to study other things too.

Don't sell yourself short. Politics, at its core, is just the description for group dynamics and decisions. Those impact all of us, and we all care about at least some subset of them. The dramatics and window dressing most media focuses on is just a small portion of the whole.

It's totally understandable that you may not be super knowledgeable about certain topics that are getting a lot of attention, but your values are worth being represented as a meaningful political issue.
