Then you’re EXACTLY. Who I’m talking about. I’m not even political but I’ve had people try and guess my politics view just like you’re doing, and it’s so weird

Where did I ever say you were a Nazi, I just said that I don’t care if I make you uncomfortable by talking about politics. Because unlike you, I can’t afford to not be invested in politics because they affect my life.

You make no sense. You just said you don’t like other people asking about your political beliefs because it’s awkward and you don’t want to debate and now you’re saying you don’t care if you make people uncomfortable by talking about politics. So other people can’t talk politics with you but you can with them.

Yea I say I’m not political meaning it’s doesn’t define my entire life. I voted in the election yes , but I have a life outside of it which is why I find it weird when new friends ask who I voted for etc

They’re not “talking” about politics…that would be just making a statement. They’re ASKING me who I voted for and what my views are when most people know that’s an unspoken topic because a lot of people don’t hold the same views.

If they ask in a friendly way it’s fine, but these types of people want to make you uncomfortable

I’m sorry you’re so close minded that you can’t accept if someone has other beliefs or voted for someone different than you

Actually it didn’t, I understand people are affected differently by different policies etc but that’s quite obvious because we’re all different we’re not copies of eachother. You hating your friend for having a different political view won’t change your current situation

maga never want to explain their vote or reasonings because they know they don’t have any that actually make sense, other than they’re just racist bigots. if they don’t want to discuss it that’s why

At this point of life I’ve had many friends with different political views as me. I’ve realized if they are a great friend otherwise, why would I cut them off because we think of things differently politically? The whole point of America is that you CAN have different beliefs and vote for what you want. Anyone who cuts someone off for their beliefs is confining themselves and missing out on amazing people.

most likely then you haven’t been personally effected by politics yet. once they directly effect you i feel like that will change and you’ll see why you don’t want to be friends with someone who’s directly voting against your rights, or has hate for different minorities.

Anonymous #5 6d

You’re still missing the point then…maybe move to a country where you don’t have the right to have an opinion. My whole point is, don’t even ask your friends about politics then if it will offend you.

-2

Anonymous OP 6d

why would i move because im choosing to not surround myself with people who are hateful & statistically less intelligent. nobody’s offended- some people actually just have standards for their friendships and don’t want to be around people who choose to take away others rights. that’s why they ask about politics and will continue to ask. if you’re embarrassed and don’t want to talk about it, maybe consider why that is

Anonymous #5 6d

Yeah and also I like to talk about politics with my friends sometimes and I don’t want some maga there to make it awkward like they said or turn it into a debate and I don’t think think they’d want to be there either

Anonymous #5 6d

I’m not embarrassed about politics at all, there’s a certain side of politics that are unable to have civil conversations and sounds like you’re on that side which is why i hate even getring involved in politics concersations, so you’re proving my point. Your immediate thought was to try to call other people unintelligent for having different views? I feel sorry for you…

Anonymous #5 6d

Are you on the same side of politics that burns down buildings and flees the country when they don’t win? Because if so, I’d argue that’s “less intelligent” and honestly a sore loser.

i was all for having a civil conversation until you told me i needed to move out of the country. statistically, the majority of people who vote red are less educated & cultured (ie. been outside of their state) this isn’t an opinion it’s just facts you can look up. people should have convos about politics to get diff perspectives but only if they’re grounded in reality and aren’t just lies & fake info to fearmonder and spread hate

Anonymous OP 6d

and that’s hilarious you’re trying to use that as an example when you trumpies stormed the literal capital, destroyed it and screamed about how the election was fake and rigged for years when he lost. no group of democrat “burned down buildings” we were depressed and sad for the future. a singular building got burned in cali by an idiot

Anonymous #5 6d

I never stated which side of politics I’m on, not sure what you’re basing it off of, I guess you resonate too much with the burning buildings?. Anyway, everyone in these comments continues to miss my point that obviousely some of us are in different situations than others but that doesn’t mean you can’t be friends with certain people. My closest friend and I have different political views, we simply don’t talk about it. If you disagree with that than you have some maturing to do

it was pretty obvious by making up lies about democrats burning down buildings and being sore losers. you don’t need to explicitly state things for people with a brain to understand. hope that helps, maybe try it sometime ! & i hope your friend gets some standards. like the other comment said- if you can’t talk to each other about actually significant things you aren’t even real friends, it’s a fake convenience friend

Anonymous #5 5d

Oh please…fake convenience friend? How little of friends do you have if you can’t accept that people have different opinions. God you must be miserable to be friends with, not even about politics, but you seem like you wouldn’t be able to be friends with anyone that has a different opinion on ANYTHING.

-2

Anonymous #1 5d

Sure..let politics ruin your close relationships then check back in with how miserable you are. This truly is the different between the left and the right. The left is too closed minded they can’t comprehend people having different opinions. I personally, welcome people with different ideas and don’t hate them for how they think. And no offense, if you’re letting politics ruin your close relationships you sound like an awful friend to begin with.

Anonymous #2 5d

Honestly that’s the one thing we can agree on, if I meet a potential friend and they’re all up in my business about politics (which you’re somehow justifying), I would defenitely see it as a red flag…so good idea, keep asking about politics and I think you’ll just lose any potential friends anyway.

Anonymous OP 5d

youre projecting so much its not even funny. i have zero issues being asked about politics or making actual meaningful friends with the same morals and beliefs. it’s not small opinions like diff fav colors. youre the one with the issue thus you making this post. once people find out who you really are they dont want to be friends with you and i don’t blame them. probably the same reason you and your bff “don’t talk about it” because spoilerr if you did you probably wouldn’t be friends anymore

Anonymous OP 5d

normal people don’t have an issue talking about politics. it’s just the morally corrupt, usually ignorant trump supporters who do because they don’t have any factual reasons to back up their belief (that they want to admit to). so i’ll keep on talking about it and making friends that way while you keep crying and hiding your racist opinions

Anonymous OP 5d

It’s actually a thing with people I talk to where I actually don’t really ask because I or people I’m having conversation with will eventually, usually pretty early, just naturally mention something political in conversation because we are having meaningful conversation idk. Like I was talking to someone last week who was a counselor with a specialization in lgbtq issues and it was made obvious in conversation where she stood. And I was talking to someone weeks before that where we were talking

About hating Morgan Wallen when he came on and that turned into talking about politics naturally.
