For example, we got into an argument last night about feminism.


Just tell her that if there is no such thing as gender, there is no such thing as feminism.

Then politely shake her hand as she accepts your brilliant checkmate.

If you are intolerant to other people’s world views, it will never work.

Leave your bubble, travel a little bit, talk to people. Realize that we are all raised through different lenses & through different experiences. It doesn’t really make a person bad.

In fact if you are too far one way, it’s probably worth listening to. Find middle ground, you will become a better person & will be able to exist outside of your red bubble.

To an extent, yes.

Same with conservatism.

Anyone who just all-out thinks their party is 100-percent correct to the extreme on every issue is nothing more than a sheep.

The party system exists so other parties can balance the other party out. There is never going to be one party that is right on everything.

Her friends are telling her the same thing about him.

They both sound like assholes. But in her defense it’s hard for educated people to hear people ferociously support a reality tv star that became president and how he treats people & presents himself publicly.

One of the best screws I ever had was with a liberal. She was ready to march for LGBT rights, and is surely championing the BLM cause. We were on and off for several years, but never would I have pursued a real relationship with her. She was out there.

If she wants to have a ‘sober conversation’ with you, then run. This isn’t someone who is ready to respect your opposite views.

If you compromise your political integrity to get along with her, then basically you are pussy whipped.
It is unlikely that you will changer her political persuasion even with irrefutable facts.
So just be up front with her and tell her that there can't be a long term commitment due to your difference in political views but she wants to just have apolitical sex then go for it.
Of course if you are looking for a long term commitment, then you might as well move on.
Good luck.

Educated people listen to dissenting opinions. Cult members do not.

You're confusing actual attainment for intelligence, typical linear thinkers position.

Yeah, because the average Bernie voter is a mensa member yet somehow can't understand rudimentary economics

You people are emotional retards, you really are.

Now link me to my claim that this is limited to the left. I've got time. Youre just paranoid.

The modern left =. The conservative moral majority of the 80s.

Which is significant part of the left in this country now. They're close to being a majority in the Democratic party. They will be in 10 years.

Agreed, which is a shame because it discredits a lot of good democrats, same way the alt-right loons discredit the good GOPs.

There are a lot of good moderate democrats in state governments.

Just like there are a lot of good moderate republicans at that level.

It's once things get to a national level that those people can't win anything unless they are an extremist one way or the other.

That's as far as they'll ever get. The party shifted far left, anyone who isn't a progressive has no chance.
