(what is "political" ?)

Anything that relates to the polity

in general it is important to talk about "politics" with people

Absolutely. People used to talk about this stuff in pubs and on the streets all the time. People used to literally go out and stand on streetcorners and harass everyone passing by with their opinions (soapboxing). Political structure and governance were common public discourse, with strangers, in public settings. The Federalist Papers were widely distributed and read because there was an interested audience, and they weren't the only example of political publishing for public consumption at the time, just one of the best-known examples.
