I’ve got a new partner who’s not all that into politics, but she is definitely interested in learning more and knows something is wrong. That’s all I really look for.

Of course I would never ever date a Zionist, Nazi, American Conservative (why am I saying the same thing three times) or staunch capitalist, but that’s different than someone simply not being educated. If I like the person, I will engage with them romantically and then try to radicalize/share my passions with them. If they support it and join or at the very least aren’t against it and simply enable me to get involved, I’m fine with it.

Of course I’d prefer a baddie tankie gf but my partner will be developed into one, rn she just a baddie gf. Lmao sorry idk wtf that was but there’s me answer

I don’t date because my family frowns upon it and would be looked down upon for dating but if I did, I would date a non-ML as long as they were at least somewhat of a leftist

i wouldn’t date a lib, but i’m dating an anarchist right now. as i talk to her more about stuff, i think once she works through some of her issues, she’ll come around to the ML side a bit more.

Yes. My gf is not ML. Not outspoken at least, but she’s a member of our party and attends actions. She’s left wing but doesn’t have to be outspoken communist imo.

Wait, she is not ML, but is a communist party member?

One can be communist sympathetic, organized, and/or a different tendency without being ML.

Yup. But I think it’s because she sees what we do and agrees with it. She comes to our actions, helps me with setting up things and eventually decided to become a member because ‘she was already doing things anyway’. But you will not yet hear her say she’s a communist lol. It has too much of a stigma for her, but with the recent Palestina conflict I feel like she is radicalizing more and more.

This is the only answer in the thread that’s based in actual reality.

Maybe realistic, but I’d argue that this thinking might lead to an unhappy relationship. If the only reason for dating someone is loneliness with disregard to how good they compliment you or generally their personality, then I would advocate for overthinking ones relationship.

Better alone than having to compromise who I am and could develop into if not for settlers trying to keep me mired in unearned exceptionalism, I figure.
