Doesn't need to be explicitly political can just be vibes. I'm just getting very tired of every main character being either a gruff rugged individualist or a bazinga nerdy individualist. Thanks

Wayfarers series talks about politics in a mature way even if it's nowhere near the focus of any of the four books
David Brin's Uplift series presents a plausible universe with politics built on Patron species and the Client species they uplift into sapience, and how humans are weirdo outliers since they claimed to have evolved naturally and don't have a clear Patron, plus had already been uplifting chimps, dolphins, and elephants by the time they met the other aliens.
Also as others have pointed out, the Murderbot series is great. Really realistic depiction of how future megacorps would act (murdering people to save a little money).
