How much does political alignment matter?
This is just a very general question. I exclude the folks who put ACAB, MAGA, and all the other blatant stuff in their profiles (people not on the most extreme ends). Do you care about your SOs political opinions (assuming nothing radical like being a racist) and if so is there a line of when you wouldn't consider a relationship with the other person anymore?

Political alignment matters a lot, and there definitely is a line for me. For me, politics is kind of fundamental - it's a reflection of values and worldview. If someone has dramatically different political perspectives from myself that is going to be a serious point of friction. Why would I bother trying to make a relationship with them work? Also, I think the people who position themselves as having a centrist/apolitical position are among the worst offenders. This sort of position reveals that you either come from a position of privilege, fear conflict, or lack empathy/perspective. (or all of the above) One thing which I think people seem to forget is that everything is 'political', and the moment you take something for granted is the same moment you'll find it taken away. The right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" is political, so unless you don't mind giving up these rights, you are political, and politics are important to you. That said, when it comes to friendships, I have no issue being friends with someone who holds different views from my own. I may share ideas or debate them from time to time, but that shouldn't be an issue. (edited)

I think both should at least respect each other’s beliefs and be able (and willing) to discuss things. I was more pro-choice and was once with someone who was pro-life. It got us to both seriously evaluate our stance on the issue and where we draw the line on our stances. It can be eye opening to have a conversation with someone who sees things differently. Personally I don’t affiliate with any party, and being with someone who does isn’t a deal breaker. It’s when they’re completely close minded on the matter that it’s tiring.

The line wouldn't be political as much as close minded. No matter what side they're on, if I can't reason with them, sometimes even to the point of showing them a video and them twisting logic so their worldview still works or just ignoring it, then talking to them is a waste of time.

Yes. My SO needs to share the values that I do because they mean so much to me. I couldn't be with an authoritarian left or right.

Farmers from all around the world.
We need to support farmers and not big corp. They are land grabbing and raising inheritance tax on farmers now to squeeze what little they make, it's funny how Bill the devil gates.

How much more Orwellian do you think America is going to get?
After actually opening my eyes to how the nation is being "terraformed" to erase history and replace cultures and make more mob mentality (on both sides) what do you think is next?

What do you think about the Kyle Rittenhouse Trial?
I don't like to sit in an echo chamber so with as little judgement and bias as possible on the politics behind it what do you think of the trial? I personally believe this is kind of crazy to debate about and that it is mainly just being used as an agenda against the "other side" and Kyle kinda... read more

That joke that was made about Puerto Ricans during the Campaign in NYC
Was so messed up. Doesn’t matter if you’re Democratic, Republican, etc. I think we can all agree that it wasn’t a good one. My jaw dropped when I heard it. #random (edited)

Why I am MAGA
I’ve never really cared much about politics and might even lean slightly liberal, but I am fiscally conservative. I recently dated a woman I met through a mutual friend, and after a week of discovering how much we had in common and how similar we were, I let it slip that I liked Trump. Not only... read more

Progressivism is American
Americans at our core are idealists - optimistic, hard-working, innovators. No matter your family’s background or even your own lack of resources, you’re supposed to be able to grab hold of the many opportunities here to showcase your own talents.

Being friends or dating someone with different political views
So as the election season is in full swing it makes me think 🤔 can people be friends or date someone with different political views? Of course I know they can be, but I find that it causes a rift. I don't think it should! Sure, if you disagree on politics you may largely have different views on... (edited) read more

Just because you support a group for a variety of reasons does not imply that you must identify with them to the extent; you must defend them for reasons that you do not share in common with them. You have the right to have personal subtleties in your views and opinions.

Question
Why do states like Oklahoma, Alabama and Kentucky always vote almost 100% Republican? Is there an historical or cultural reference to this?
