Politics

There was a time when a potential partner's political opinions weren't that important to me. I could enjoy their company and as long as politics and/or social issues didn't come up, all was well.

These days, though, if I see somebody stating loud and clear on their profile what their politics are, and if those opinions differ from mine, I tend to give that profile a wider berth.

What about you? If somebody is vocal about their politics on here, do you not let that be a factor, or are your political beliefs deeply held enough such that you'll move on to the next profile?

 I do the same since I've actually been talked to with such hate and venom just because they didn't like my political stance. I had even told them right before that happened, that it wasn't a problem with me that they had a different view. I've even received fake matches on tinder from people that have no other agenda than to get you to see their very threatening profile. Even local police would send me those kinds of profile matches. It used to be fine, people could still love each other even if they voted differently. Now, people go after you if you don't agree. It's gotten a bit scary actually. (I hope people report the police officers with those kinds of profiles, that's insane and they shouldn't be out there supposedly protecting the public)

 Agree with Lust4's statement. Couldn't have said it better myself. And the divide seems to be so much wider in recent years that I think it does make it harder to even just be friends with someone on the totally opposite end of the spectrum from you.

 If they're vocal on their profile, then most likely will be more vocal about it in person. I can handle differences, after all, politics and religion are both based on personal opinion. but I tend to steer clear from "radicals" on both sides. They aren't interested in my own opnion, unless it's to sway me to their side.
