Is discussing news and weather the same as discussing politics? There was a thread about news coverage of the fires in California and the thread is already closed. The fires are still burning, so the discussion is still timely and relevant, no?

Is it because the discussion branched into a climate change discussion? And, if so, is discussion about climate change now considered political discussion?

Better yet, is my asking this question considered political?

I guess I'll know my answer based on that happens to this post. But if you cannot infer my political leanings by the content of this post, how can it be considered political?
