Could you date someone of a different political affiliation?

Really.........My one deal breaker is bigotry (racism, sexism, homophobia, dislike of dogs, etc.)

That's a dealbreaker for me too, but also people that label anything that doesn't fit in with their mantra as bigotry and/or ignorance. That is also a dealbreaker for me.

My deal breaker is when people use their opinions to try and influence other people with no logic behind their comments.

No, I would not. That's a total deal breaker for me.

American equivalent?

If she was tolerant & accepted that mine was different than her's & I would do the same

Certainly not. I always start with religion, politics, and the Great Pumpkin. If you don't agree with me on these things, I don't see us getting along in the future.

But I guess I don't have to worry about this since I'm so ugly that no girl in her right mind would ever love me.

That can be a real annoying thing especially in an open forum of discussion.

Depends on the affiliation, honestly. I couldn't be with someone that was socially conservative because it goes against the core of who I am. A fiscal liberal, sure, I wouldn't have a problem with that, and could make some lively debates.

That's why we are here. If we always agreed than things would not be as fun.

I hate homophobia, but don't hate those who oppose gay marriage.
I hate racism.
I hate Neo-Nazism.
I hate socialism (although the artistic value of art produced in countries defined as such is quite cool).
I hate anarchy, and dislike liberalism.
But the people themselves I don't hate. I can't hate a person, no reason for that.
For example, gay men have been very nice to me, and give great advice, but I still don't agree with gay marriage.
And Obama I believe to be a terrible president, but wouldn't hesitate to have a pop and some fine cheese and talk about sports with him.
No reason to hate anyone, just appear so.

I've never heard of either the "racist" or "xenophobe" political party or their platform. Can you go into detail?

Or is that your label for republicans?

I won't date a Hezbollah or Salafist girl

Sure, I actually think having a radical communist girlfriend would be kind of hot

I was thinking the same thing. But any girl I've ever talked to that has communist ideologies, gets offended when I call it communism. Evidently, communism = bad

But I would rather date someone with no party affiliation.

No. They can be in a different spectrum of the left wing, but I couldn't date somebody who believes in the right wing. I would just fight them until we broke up.
Luckily my BF is liberal like me
