You put it perfectly. It took me a long time to accept that I am a political person *about certain things*. It’s a limited set, but within that limited set, I look at it this way:
IF I was forced to go behind a podium and convince people of my position on something, could I do it? What is that something that I am that passionate about that I could talk about convincingly because it means a lot to me?
What those “somethings” are, THAT is what I’m political about.
I have only a few, but they’re meaningful to me.
