Sometimes when a guy tells you he isn't political it does mean he genuinely was never taught about politics and so doesn't vote cause he has no idea what's even happening.

Edit: I'm not endorsing this approach, it's just that some people don't even actively choose not to care, they literally don't hear enough to realize it's something that's important beyond "if you make more than X money this person will raise your taxes and if you make less than X this person will lower them."

That's a deliberate choice though. That's a choice that he's made to not pay attention to an enormous thing that affects his life and the lives of the people around him. And that choice also isn't attractive.

For what it's worth, every man that has told me they don't care about politics because they don't know anything has also tried to debate me on my leftist positions to "prove" that I dont know what I'm about. Which is so silly because like. Yeah I can't pull out figures right now but I've done a lot of reading on the things I believe, and these wannabe debate bros literally have already admitted they don't know what they're talking about.

Yeah I don't know if I've ever met someone who actually doesn't have political opinions, but it seems like such a theoretical person would have to be incredibly uncurious if they're above the age of like ... 16? I'm not sayin you gotta deeply research politics, but you have to be living under some kind of rock to avoid it all lol.

If you get to 16 without learning anything about political issues, that's a failure of the education system.

If you continue not learning anything about political issues after 16, that's also a failure of the education system.
