1 star lol. No I would not. Politics are just morals dressed up, and I see no reason to date someone who I view as morally inept.
I'm not super religious about politics so I don't really care what "side" she's on.
I could not however tolerate a zealot for too long. She'd have to chill the fluff out or I'd have to leave.
I could yes, but the biggest thing for me is if they can't take a step outside of their political ideology when facts dictate they should (regardless of which side they're on) then it very likely wouldn't work
I would date someone who has different political views, It wouldn't matter to me everyone is entitled to their own political views
No it won't work. What happens when (using the book teaser as an example) she gets pregnant and he tells her to get an abortion and she says no thats evil how could you want to murder our child. Instead we should get married and you should take that corporate job at xyz that pays really well but isn't a green or woke company? he's going to say fuck you bitch.
Just my initial thought.
no, i can't imagine a relationship with someone who supports trump, lol
Well right there proves you are brainwashed.
Well since I know politics is all BS and fake lies now I look for a girl who is not immersed in politics this way I do not have to dumb myself down to talk to her.
I love that book title by the way, i get the pop culture pun they're poking at. No, i couldn't date someone with different political views.
I would date someone who doesn't like politics so he/she don't have to bug me about voting.
I have but not looking to these days. I want someone on the same page in nearly every aspect
Depends on the extremes of their views, but yeah, I definitely would.
I can’t imagine someone supporting Trump being a good person. Like he would have to hate the environment, hate the poor, love the rich, and hate healthcare.
See and this is why it’s so hard, because as a trump supporter...
I do care about the environment, but just don’t think that government can actually affect meaningful change to the environment.
I care deeply about the poor, but believe that welfare actually traps people in their poverty and would prefer to help people rise above poverty, not just tolerate it.
I don’t care more or less about the rich than anyone else. They’re normal people and I just don’t believe in penalizing them for their luck, ingenuity, and/or inheritance.
I love healthcare but believe that government run healthcare is sub par in both quality and quantity and therefore dislike the idea of socialized healthcare.
So you see. It never occurs to people these days, that those on the other side have good intentions, but understand political issues and their repercussions differently leading them to propose and support different policies. It’s always straight to the over simplistic: “he must just be an a**hole.”
So that’s why it’s so hard to overcome those different opinions. It’s not the opinion that is the problem, it’s the generalizing people do around those with different opinions that makes it easier to just avoid the conflict altogether.
@FocusOfSuspicion Except almost nothing of what you said is true.
Healthcare outcomes are better with free healthcare. There is lower infant mortality, longer lifespan, better outcomes for a wide range of diseases. The USA ranks near the bottom of the developed world in healthcare outcomes and it costs twice as much as socialized medicine. The USA is the *only country in the developed world* to not have free healthcare. No other country wants the terrible American healthcare system where people literally die because they can't afford insulin.
Environmental regulations of course work! There was a giant hole in the ozone layer, and governments around the world got together and banned CFCs and other ozone destroyers, and the ozone layer recovered! We can do the same for climate change. Also protecting our water from pollutants is important, and Trump constantly voted to cut protection to our watersheds.
Countries with higher welfare have more social mobility. It's easier to achieve the American dream in Canada than the USA. In the USA, if you are born poor you stay poor and your kids are poor. With more welfare, you can break the cycle of poverty and become middle class (which happens all the time in countries with more social welfare)
I could discuss with you why I believe you’re wrong, but that’s not the point. The point is that I do believe you’re wrong and that I’m right. And therefore I do care and I do have good intentions and I do try to help people and I do make sacrifices for them. I do feel love for family and strangers alike.
From your point of view, perhaps I’m stupid. You could argue stupidity since you believe I’m incorrect about many things you think are obvious. But you can’t argue that I’m not a good person with a good heart. It worst, I’m a tragic idiot.
You mean date a conservative? I suppose I would if she acknowledges the social problems.
But if she's a trump supporter then no fucking way.
Trump is beyond politics, he's a criminal
I could if the views aren't extreme. If you analyze it closely. Left and right have more in common than differences.
My second girlfriend was a Republican. It wasn't too bad actually. We both had different views but we understood each other.
I would not date people with different political views because then we will disagree on many things which will just lead to a breakup and broken heart
James Carville and Mary Matalin were the campaign managers for Clinton vs Bush in 1992 and now they've been married for nearly 30 years.
You can work around the political if the physical, spiritual and emotional attractions are in alignment.
Probably not, why would I date some girl who thinks a baby is not a human being, and is okay with abortion, no can do sir. Only traditional conservative women for me
As much as I like "Darma&Greg"
No I would not
I would, but there are a few views that I am very staunch on, but they are just opinions at the end of the day
