Relationships and Politics

I am very much not even close to a leftist though I have strong dislike for mainstream conservatism and republicans who aren’t even conservative and i’m Also not much of a moderate either. I just Define myself as a person who believes in finding truth. This is why I could never define myself on the political spectrum at all considering how intolerant I see people are on both sides. I just dislike untruth and stupidity. I value truth and I would wish the other person I wish would value that to and having clarity rather than arbitrary tenets that sound nice.

When it comes to having political views in a relationship, I don't mind what their views are. Of course, I'll challenge their views at times but I also expect them to challenge mines too. I'm all for free speech so if it's something I disagree, I don't shut it down but express why I disagree and that's it. If they disagree with anything from my end, they're free to express and that's it. Having politics affect a relationship is silly. If people are breaking up because of political views then they aren't grown enough to be in a relationship.

SailingTeacup I can understand that sentiment. That said, it is closeminded not to date someone for just voting for someone, Without learning the reasoning behind it. It's still your right, and completely fine to do, as we're allowed to be picky and narrow about who we choose to date. I was raised in a poor environment, and had to work my way up to middle class, So I'm more right leaning, than left. However I'm still mostly centrist. Aleuzia to be fair, Saying you're neither would make you a moderate. Believing aspects of either, While disliking them as a whole, an Independent if you will. But you do you.

CrossBones, Overall I agree. But how would you feel dating someone who is a white nationalist? Who hates other races, due to their more heavy right leaning. Or how about someone who believes taking away any speech that could be 'offensive', taking away your freedom to speech, due to heavy left leanings? Personally I couldn't date someone like that. In my opinion, it's all about Why they believe something, rather than what they believe.

No Leo I’m def not a moderate I’m just me, refuse to kotou to the moderate box. I said I’m none of them cause fuck the political spectrum it’s annoying at this point to. Also a lot of the independents I’ve seen that are up there in tv are wishy washy. I don’t believe in picking and choosing based in because I like it either or it sounds good or because it sounds “reasonable” or “Muh Rationaale” to me cause it’s just another side to reason because I like something therefor it’s true. So in a relationship context I highly value open mindedness ontop of skepticism.

Also you misrepresent white Nationlist with white supremacist. I’m a asian minority but like the degree of differing white nationalists v.s white supemacist is easy. Ones aa racist and minority in thought and often stupid where as specifically Alt-Right are ethnonationalist are bit more splintered on the the racistness part and superiority part depending on who you go to or look at.

Yeah you're right, I screwed up with the wording there with the white nationalist. You say you're just you, But by definition, considering you're not either one parties, it makes you an independent, with your own views and such rather than holding to any one singular party. Just seems like you're desperately trying to stay away from a label, while it doesn't matter much. Like someone saying "I'm not a guy/woman, I'm just me." You still are, but it doesn't matter much. In the end you do you, Like I said, It doesn't really matter.
