I think the question isn't whether it's relevant, but whether it's an efficient way of doing things.

Efficient or not, politics does change the world (both for the better and worse), so it'd be foolish not to at least pay attention.

  • True. The problem is - most of the political public sphere is just noise. To the point that e.g. following regular media sources is just a waste of time (and risks infecting the brain with lies).

    Being efficiently engaged in local or global politics has little to do with discussing e.g. the latest media blunder of a politician, or whatever promise they made that probably won't happen anyway.
