Would you date someone with differing politics than your own?

[Gym Leader Rory wants to battle!]

Was having a talk with one of my friends who is single today and he mentioned politics dont mean much to him in a partner. My wife and I are both leftists and I told him any of our partners must also be of the left politically. I was told that we are too picky and that its not that big of a deal . I personally think its a pretty big deal but what do yall think.

Okay, but is support of BLM and their cause enough? You said that they had to be some-what left-winger...but is BLM enough? And if it is, why? What about them attracts you? Killing, robbing and burning down black communities? Or is it for the goal that have in the public of ending political brutality and trying to bring about equality.

If I say my partner doesn't have to support any specific social movements will you shut up? You're more annoying than me dude g0d DAMN

But if they did support BLM, would you take that as a sign that you could date them, and if it is...what trait about them makes the person worth of a date?

It really doesn't make much of a difference to me, as long as they're able to say that they oppose racism and mean it they're cool

What I suspect is I'm calling out the left-wingers for being immoral and they don't like it.

Cognitive dissonance : the state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioral decisions and attitude change.

The left dating trait might be "empathy/compassion for minorities/black people"

And yet by their own support of destructive groups like BLM, they are 1000% against minorities and black people.

So conservatives will likely have the trait that they are seeking without the cognitive dissonance of supporting groups that put those communities to the torch.

Whatever story you want to make up in your head is fine. Are you done?

I thought you were going to talk to me?

I think I'm seeing this hostility because of cognitive dissonance. I'm pointing out how the other side likely shares many of the same values, only they (conservatives) can have those values without betraying their values, whereas liberals don't really care about those values, and only really care about power. Hence why they're hostile.

Folks, don't let cognitive dissonance consume you.

Snow you are right about certain things Conservatives do that help Non-Whites but you are ignoring things that Liberals do that also helps them by only looking at BLM riots.

Republicans freed the slaves but the political parties flipped starting in the 60s when the Democrat president Lyndon B. Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act. This angered the Democrats and they began switching to the Republican party making the south a breading ground for Republican states. Since then holidays that once celebrated Whites and jobs and colleges that used to hire and educated Whites began throwing them away for the favor of non-Whites, which benefits non-Whites, and this had been done first by the Democrat party. When Republicans eventually do the same they are a decade or two late.

So....you'd date a conservative then as long as they claim to be against those things.

Now surely you support some racism, and find some racism attractive?

....things like support equity or affirmative action are probably positive examples of "good" racism in your book or is that a mischaracterization? I know most of those on the left there's major cognitive dissonance in actually support racism when they claim to be against it.

The parties never flipped...if you study the history 1 guy switched from Democrat to Republican and frankly consider how insane of a idea the party flip is...the claim is that because 1 person switch sides the entire history and political leanings of the Democrats magically switched over to Republicans and all the Republican goals including their history magically switched to Democrats. That's insanity.

At best if Republicans used racist strategy at one time, it was simply republicans using racist strategy, and given that the average left-winger heavy lies about what racism is, and racism can be highways, hair cuts, and other trivial things I don't judge their ability to decide what is racism and what isn't.


Just consider Joe Biden...friends with a KKK senator Robert Byrd, created the 94 Crime Bill which targeted black people crimes for much larger prison sentence...and support of BLM a group that torches black communities...it's not exactly a big brain move to see which side is helping and which side is hurting.

"If you have a problem figuring out who to vote for me or Trump, then you ain't black"-Joe Biden.

The "hostility" you're encountering has nothing to do with your beliefs, and the mental gymnastics you're going through to play victim in this situation is laughable. It's because you're derailing the thread and are trying to start arguments. So I ask again... Are you done?

It's like people like these people just do not exist. There are none. No needles in the haystack.

Am I a joke to you? I am 100% disinterested in politics. Any resemblance between my own views and politically aligned people are purely coincidental. Politics are nothing but evil and I will never have part in them.

Have your posts been constructive to the conversation. Mine have, ever consider that the hostility your feelings is because I'm doing what you should be doing, and your just derailing the thread.

Cognitive dissonance my friend.

Hello :D!
I mean, is not that I care 0% about politics, but I've learned to see the bigger picture instead.

None of your posts have been constructive to the conversation. My have, ever consider that the hostility your feelings is because I'm doing what you should be doing, and your just derailing the thread.

Cognitive dissonance my friend.

All of your posts are thinly veiled attempts at interjecting your own beliefs and are not constructive in the slightest.

You should also learn what cognitive dissonance means before using it in every post.

Sure they're productive.

If you don't like Black Lives Matters as an example, we could talk about any other political issue that is likely to draw contention between the two sides and boil down the issue, and very often we're going to find similarities, and we're going to find alot of cognitive dissonance on the left.

And sorry but have your read your own posts? Your accusing me of putting my own beliefs in a post...umm...isn't that what we're all doing? Your post I'm replying it is 1000000000% your own beliefs. Next your should accuse me of writing words in my comment, I'm probably guilty of that.

Edit: cog·ni·tive dis·so·nance

the state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioral decisions and attitude change.

No, we don't need to talk about any political issues on the right, left, or anything in between. It does not matter since it's not the subject of the original post. That is what you are repeatedly failing to understand.

You know exactly what I am talking about when I say "beliefs" So why are you pretending like you don't?

I can really feel the romantic tension building in here...

Should there be romantic tension? Most gamers are guys and while it's stereotyping I bet a large portion of off-topic is male. I'm not interested male romances, and frankly I think with the exception of femboy or some trans-women my maleness could threaten theirs and you'd see the opposite of romance.

I assume the folks I'm talking to here and most on off-topic are dudes. Not all.


When I take my approach to a woman, it impacts her VERY VERY different then a biological male. Especially when I flash my bright blue eyes.
