What’s with all the politics this season?

Look, I think discussing core beliefs (including politics) is super important for couples. But I could not be less interested in listening to people of, let's face it, average to below average brainpower discuss these topics on a reality dating show. Hell, my husband is asleep on my shoulder right now thanks to Virginia and Devin's discussion about their voting habits. What's with the volume of dry political discussions with no payoff this season? At least it felt somewhat consequential when Nancy and Bartise argued about abortion!
