Could you date someone of a different political affiliation?

Just out of curiosity......

Yes-because I have no political affiliation

If someone was a rampant Conservative/Capitalist, then no.

Otherwise, I'd be with the person for who they were, not necessarily their beliefs.

Never talk to anyone about religion/politics, the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

I could never date a feminist.

I'll date a democrat though even though I'm a libertarian.

I once went on an OKC date with a Ke$ha fan. Never again.........

What's an OKC date, if you please?

If they weren't aggressive about it I wouldn't have a problem.

It'd be difficult, but I might be able to. If I were to find that my dream crush swung to the right, I'd live with it.

Yes, unless that political affilation uplifts racism or nationalism. I would never date a racist/xenophobe.

Yes, as long as they weren't "hardcore" in their views. I don't mind when people disagree with my political views, but I can't stand it when people brand everyone who doesn't see things their way as "idiots out to ruin America".

It depends.
If they are incapable of accepting or exploring other viewpoints, and resort to name-calling, defamation of character based, interrupting, strawman political, browbeating and guilt tripping then no I couldn't date the girl even if they shared my own viewpoints. In other words they can believe whatever they want as long as they are diplomatic, intelligent and don't hit below the belt to win an argument.

As you can tell, I feel strongly about politics. Actually it would be more correct to say I feel very strongly about people not being able to debate politics like civilized people lol
