curious if there's any polling on how diff demographics feel about "not associating with people who think differently from you" it feels very gen z on one hand, politics isn't everything. but how do you reconcile being friends with someone who likes someone you think is really an awful person (regardless of politics)?

I think not associating with someone because of their political views is incredibly wack. We will look back at our generation as the cringiest, uptight, most boomer generation of all

What do you think of someone who is gay not wanting to associate with a friend who is against gay marriage?

Makes sense. I’d get someone not wanting to associate with someone directly against a core piece of their identity. Not associating because you’re Trump and I’m Kamala is silly is what I’m saying. Why can’t we just vibe without talking or being triggered about politics

a big problem with politics and the general public is that any firm blue voter will decide a red voter is clinically insane, or worse (and vice versa). Given the field is split ~50/50 that is obviously not the case, and you should rather mistrust your own strong feelings on the subject

on a similar note, if you argue w someone you respect you should expect to be correct about 50% of the time (or less), but ppl feel that they should be correct 90-100%
