So who gets to decide which issues to get involved in? Does everyone have to get involved in every issue?

No, they don't have to get involved in every issue, the point is merely that inaction, or excluding yourself from politics, is itself political.
That doesn't make inaction immoral. It just means that it's not apolitical.

I actually agree with you. My comment was provocative in the sense that I would surely immediately become engaged politically if I was out of this comfort zone.

It seems my comment was more provocative :)
Or were we both heavily downvoted?
You might adopt a political position that your privileged position of safety and comfort is not subject to any particular obligations to engage with others and become involved in society’s problems, but that would be politics all the same.
