I met this person, (let’s call them Austen) through my “bible study group” (actually a pop pagan group), and when I found out Austen is a leftist, we hit it off quite well. We’ve been together for around a month, but we do have our differences, which I can respect. Will our differences be a problem?

I mean if you share the same core values it probably will not be a problem, that is way more important than any ideology

long as your cool about stuff im sure you’ll be fine. My partner is pretty much a rad lib and we’d have way more interesting arguments if they were an anarchist lol nah but we do fine :a-little-trolling:

Yeah, same boat. OP, you’ll probably be just fine unless the person in question is an “anarchist” like a twitter anarchist. But after a month you’ve probably already felt them out enough to know they’re cool.

i would guess in a best case scenario, the west is 10+ years away from leftists having gained any political power, so any political arguments you have in the meantime are either an excuse to kill time or break up

Ask them if they’re a CIA operative. They have to tell you if they are!

Well, is being a general leftist who loves world peace close enough?
