Relationships and Politics

So for a relationship do you need to agree politically? If they don't agree with your politics is it a complete deal breaker, or is it dependent on the person. Or even more so, does it not matter in the slightest? Personally, It'd really depend on how open minded the person, and WHY they believe in the things they do. Though if those things check out well, then I wouldn't mind.

it would depend how important politics are to them my mother wouldnt want me to marry someone whos far right (or right at all) but to me aslong as they werent too right leaning i guess i could deal with it id probably tease them about it, but thats it

I follow the teachings of Marx, Engels,Lenin, Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping~٩◔̯◔۶~Will I get punched on the face? :D... In fact, I'm apolitical (︶︹︺), but I do dislike radical policies, thoughts, actions...So I cannot get along with people who blindly believe in those..

I don't know, I have some beliefs but I'm mostly apolitical - I generally don't give a shit as long as people are kind and understanding.

Used to care, don't really anymore. My partner is free to believe in whatever they want, I wouldn't hold it against them unless of course, they were some huge extremist nazi. I've become very of the belief that life is too short, why waste time worrying over insignificant things? I see it as whoever I'm going to date doesn't need to be perfect. Those expectations will leave you lonely in the end. Not having matching political views isn't the end of the world.

Don't really care. As long as they're not on the extreme end of either spectrum and are open to new viewpoints and ideas I'm cool. I might have an interest in them but honestly I'm not really the type of that goes out of their way to discuss politics anyway.

Alot of people seem to view politics as essential for a relationship these days- any visit to a mainstream dating website in the last year is evident of that. Wether that be through the politically charged match questions for the algorithm or many a users profile. It does kind of feel like it's importance changed overnight in a way. I personally can't stand politics- they're a necessary evil in my opinion. I'll discuss them happily in a healthy environment but I couldn't be with someone who lived for them. (unless it was legitimately their profession). I keep myself informed of events in the peripheral of my day to day. Working in government and the political realm for a good year gave me a view into the inner workings. It really soured the whole thing for me. (not that it was surprising). I still have many friends who work in various political sectors. However I know for me being with someone in a relationship who's politics was their life. Especially any form of SJW/Extremist type just wouldn't work out. I don't care enough about it and am rather pessimistic in my approach to government. I like to spend more time focusing on my own life and living it vs living through political means. In this sense it would be like oil and water... Now if you're talking about joining in establishing the New Foxonia Empire..that's different <~.n>
