It means that the impacts of the politics on you change each day. It means you are in a place where the politics have allowed you to have these myriad options.
and if i moved to where only travel by car was viable, what does that imply about my politics?
I'm not reading you. Nothing is implied by anything. You live in a political world. It is shaped by the politics going on around you. Your simple existence shapes the politics of the world. You cannot be apolitical. You can only be ignorant of the myriad ways politics influences your life, your abilities, the obstacles you fact, the choices you have.. Everything.
I'm not saying you have to pick a specific side, or that anything you do means you're going to vote one way or the other. That's insane. Its a bit like Rush. You ever listen to them? If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice. You can choose not to engage with politics actively, but you're still engaging with it by just existing. May as well do so with an informed opinion.
I feel like they're trolling tbh.
edit: yah just unhinged whinging about personal feelings, I blocked.
Meh, probably. It's fun though.
