People joke about "a house divided" when it comes to football where one spouse is from Alabama and the other from Auburn, etc. But I seriously cannot comprehend being in a divided relationship on things like this. It's not about the political party, but the worldview and value system. I could not, would not spend my life with someone who was diametrically opposed to me on abortion, taxes, welfare, etc. And when it comes to gun control, anyone in my household who isn't 100% in line with RKBA is a potential threat to my freedom (see the red flag laws).
When I was in the dating world, and that was before politics got as polarized as it is now, someone who didn't line up with my views was an immediate dealkiller. NEXT!

After our fight this morning, she says she does not like Trump, but Biden is bad for our family (higher taxes, “white privilege” et al). She is voting Libertarian, which is more her political philosophy anyway.

when my wife and i started dating, i brought up her and her family's politics.
she said they were democrats and i had a pause. then she said that all of her local races were democrats so they had no choice, but her family hadn't voted democrat for president since Carter.
in Texas there was the Chet Edwards and Charlie Stenholm types that would have no place in the democrat party today.
my mom was head of the county RNC at one point so that would have been an issue.
my in-laws were in this last weekend and i was talking to them aside from my wife and kids and politics came up as earlier my wife had said something (justifiably) critical of Trump and they asked me in private if she was voting for Biden or something. they were genuinely worried their daughter had become liberal. i assured them that wasn't the case. she just didn't care for Trump.

So basically she voted for Biden by voting 3rd party.

Or has no one explained the Electoral College to you?

Divorce won't work...she will still vote.
Killing her won't work...she will still vote

Or, you could just be an adult who is capable of getting along fine with people who share different views.

Either Trump or Biden is going to win. She finally admitted that Biden's policies are bad for your family so obviously Trump is the better choice. What the frick difference does it make if she likes his personality or not? Vote for the candidate that is better for your future. And seriously, how does she not see what a POS Biden is?

I have this same problem it drives me crazy. She admits that Biden is mentally unfit and she hates the majority of his policies AND she voted for Scott Walker TWICE!
She has TDS something BAD. It makes zero sense.
Keep pressing her, she’ll eventually say, “Trump said grab them by the kitty cat.”
That kitty cat phrase to self righteous, snobby white women is the equivalent to Biden’s dumbass gaffe to black Americans,
“If you don’t know to vote for me you ain’t black.”

It’s funny. I’ve seen Republicans say a vote for 3rd party is a vote for Biden. And I’ve seen Democrats say a vote for 3rd party is a vote for Trump.

I asked my wife who she voted for back in 2016.
Who did she vote for in ‘08 and ‘12 ?
The last time I voted Democrat was in 2004 - I didn’t like how ‘W’ handled 9/11 - so it was a vote against him - that obviously didn’t work - my husband laughed it off and forgave me for voting D
No way in ‘08 or ‘12 did I vote D - growing up in majority minority areas - I witnessed how those types of politicians had ruined their areas - that’s when I realized it was the Democrat party. I didn’t need to ‘be a part of history’ - I wanted to vote for who was going to help this country be great like it’s always been. Too many people (Not just women) get caught up in the emotions and think they are voting for good, when they haven’t even thought at all

If she hasn't already voted, tie her up on the bed until the election is over. Don't tell her why you are doing it. If she calls the cops, tell them it was just a bit of sexual fantasy fun aka you guys were playing doctor.
