Not at all. He decided we just shouldn't discuss politics at all lol. I agree on that, though.
My boyfriend and I agree completely. Politics suck, but I think some people should have similar opinions to certain issues to be compatible long-term.
My fiance and I agree. We only differ on small things if anything. We're both liberal, or else we wouldn't be together!
He has conservative friends who after seeing me(and my pentacle) told him not to date me, but here we are, 2 years later, engaged!
definitively yes. my ex was chinese with maoist family's background. My family has a left-wing/communist one. Two of a kind. :)
Yes, absolutely.
I couldn't date anyone who didn't agree with me politically.
We do.We haven't been paying as much attention to the debates as we should, but we agree about who we support, and on the issues.
my fiance and i are pretty similar politically; of course, we don't agree on every single issue that comes up, but we're politically compatible i think.
My boyfriend & I agree on most political things, & we're both leaning towards McCain
What bothered me the most about my Ex-BF is that he didn't care about voting therefore the canidates. Then he would turn around a bitch about things such as taxes and the like.
SO I'd rather have a partner who had a political view at all rather than be ignorant to his Country's future leaders.
I would hope that in the future my partner will at least agree with me on a few crucial issues or else I know it wont work out. Good for you @ people who can reconcile their political differences and still get along!
Yes we are in total agreement!
My boyfriend & I see eye-to-eye on almost everything -- politics included. So that's not an issue. :)
We're both independents, intelligent, and always open for political debate. He would not disagree if I say that I know about the machinery of politics as well as the general policies of all candidates running far better than he does.
However, he and I both take this to mean that discussions are inherently for intelligence-gathering purposes. Neither one of us hoards the news, and we frequently keep each other up to date on political happenings in order to inspire later conversations.
Like i said before, we're both undecided (for the most part). So it's nice to be able to argue for which ever candidate we are support that week.
I think it's important that you can freely discuss politics without lunging at the other person's throat. My parents never understood this. Fanaticism is NEVER worth a relationship.
i tried not to care because i get upset when i have a disagreement over politics, and i don't think she knows enough to have a full political conversation.
she wants McCain and it can get annoying sometimes but It doesn't bother me enough so that it would affect our relationship.
OBAMA '08
I'd leave politics out of the relationship. Same with religion :).
Nope, not at all. But we know not to get really mad at each other when talking about politics, and we try to listen where each person is coming from.
It's a heated debate, but no one gets angry afterward!
@sorjai@xanga - I would like to do the same, but I get really into political debates.
Religion on the other hand, I don't like to touch the topic on, that gets even more nowhere than politics.
@awokenfatality@xanga - Debates aren't a problem as long as a couple are respectful to each other's opinions, but some are just too passionate (stubborn?) about their arguments that it indirectly affects their relationship, usually in a negative way.
@sorjai@xanga - I'm too stubborn, it would be disastrous.
@awokenfatality@xanga - lol, probably safer to avoid the debate =D. Either that or be with someone who's very agreeable :)
@sorjai@xanga - Yep yep, that's my plan.
I'm SINGLE. =) But my friends are like my girlfriends/boyfriends! We all agree.
OBAMA 08!
We have similar views, but he's still not sure who he's voting for in the election, even though I decided a long time ago!
I'm a liberal and he's a moderate conservative, although we both agree on Obama, we don't necessarly agree with who won the debates, policies, etc and have gotten into short heated debates. But we don't hold them against each other and so the next second we can change topics and get along.
He thinks I'm too emotionally attached to the campaign , what can I say I'm working on the campaign, of course I'm attached. =)
Vote Obama/Biden 2008
no. i'm an O supporter and he is a mccain supporter (for fiscal reasons) which I understand and leave it as that. We do not discuss our platformon politics.
