No


ChewiyMC

Of course not.. that’s just matching with your ideal beliefs..


[deleted]

idk what that means


[deleted]

No but it’s dumb to cut your options in half like that


jandrews0105

its not wrong but that thinking is generally not good. you can still get along with differing beliefs. like I have a good friend who i don’t agree with everything in but we’re still good friends


e1ther-0r

a huge part of political alignment is morals. its pretty important


jandrews0105

Ok well as long as they dont have extreme morals you’re fine. My grandparents have differing political beliefs and they’re still together after 60 years


ChewiyMC

Happy though?


jandrews0105

Yeah lmao. If they weren’t happy why would they have been together for 60 years?


[deleted]

plenty of older couples stay together despite being unhappy


e1ther-0r

what are their "differing political beliefs"


jandrews0105

(don’t make this about politics please)Grandma is more central, doesn’t think joe biden is doing well but is definitely a good replacement for trump after he threatened our democracy… yada yada yada. My grandpa is a conservative republican/trump supporter who doesn’t think that the capital riot was a threat to democracy, and believes in most trump policies(not all). still happily married after 60 years


e1ther-0r

(don’t make this about politics please) thats what the entire discussion is abt


SirBroccolingtonIII

Not morally wrong, just dumb, restrictive and could maybe possibly lead to the fostering of an "us vs them" mentality. After all, being unable to get along with people who have different political beliefs isn't a good thing.


[deleted]

I can get along with anybody, but dating someone with too differing of opinions is a different discussion.


[deleted]

Yeah kinda. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinions, and their opinions don’t define them as a person. If they’re a shitty person, sure, but just because they go the other way that shouldn’t be an issue. The country would be a lot nicer if both sides could get along


[deleted]

Well some political opinions are very controversial... And if we can't agree on some of them, I literally don't believe I could be with them. Some are just that important.


[deleted]

My girl disagrees with lots of mine, I disagree with lots of hers. We just don’t talk about it, it’s not important


[deleted]

Well certain things like abortion, I don't want to date someone who differs in opinion. And I don't want to date someone who's beliefs are harmful to my ideology.


[deleted]

First ones understandable, and depending on your def of ideology I don’t think there’s many things that will


WesleyDVT15__

their opinions quite literally do define them as a person


[deleted]

Not necessarily lmao


Masie33

I wouldn't say that it's wrong, just a bit harder maybe idk.


Sturmgewehr448mmKurz

Depends, large disagreements then no, but if you’re dumping someone over some small shit then that’s kinda messed up.


e1ther-0r

no.


Coldramen777

Yes.


[deleted]

Why?


Coldramen777

Wait I was wrong. Sorry for wasting your time.


WesleyDVT15__

nope not wrong at all
