Honestly, I think this is a super important point. Epicureanism is about personal happiness and how we reach it, so it's only right that interpretations of it might lead to different political conclusions. Focusing on the core principles of the philosophy and promoting them, rather than letting politics or religion overshadow those principles, is key. Also, for those interested in more political-centered discussions, there's always https://www.politiq.net/US_President_D…y_Election_2024 . Y'all laid it out well!
