You and your DH/DW/SO..difference of opinion politically?

Are on the same page? DH and I are not.

No need to say who you support. I don't want to cause drama..

Me= Democrat who works with the poor and psychiatrically disabled

DH=Republican who thinks that money should go into big business and thinks there are more than enough programs for the poor

needless to say, we do not talk about Politics during dinner...or ever...it would lead to divorceChat Icon

Re: You and your DH/DW/SO..difference of opinion politically?

My dh thinks the whole issue is a waste of time. In his opinion, they tell you what you want to hear to get elected and then do what ever they want anyway!.......Chat Icon

I on the other hand, Ithink it makes a difference for the bigger picture.

Re: You and your DH/DW/SO..difference of opinion politically?

Pretty much have a difference of opinion. I am a Democrat he is not. His main difference is regarding fiscal policy, otherwise he is very liberal regarding social issues. We joke that in November we can both stay home as we cancel each other's vote.

Same views. I'm not sure I could be with someone who had drastically different political views.

Re: You and your DH/DW/SO..difference of opinion politically?

I told DH that he was not allowed to vote because it would just cancel me out. I think if DH's political views were his own I would be more tolerant but when he starts talking politics he sounds like his parents.Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: You and your DH/DW/SO..difference of opinion politically?

mostly agree. not always on all issues or on what candidate is best, but by and large i think our principles align.

i don't think i could have ever been in a serious relationship with or married someone with completely opposite views than mine. this is just a personal thing -- i know lots of people, including our very best couple friends - who make it work. i just don't think i cuold do it. i'm pretty passionate about a lot of the issues and love to talk about politics with DH. i also work in politics. i can't imagine for me having that off limits. i think i'd break the rules too often and it would lead to conflict.

He's a registered independent. I'm a Democrat. We often disagree regarding fiscal policies (tax cuts, etc.) but we agree on social policies (gay marriage, etc.)

Re: You and your DH/DW/SO..difference of opinion politically?

Totally different. I am pretty informed and involved in the process (meaning I vote in local elections as well, not just national), and DH has the "my vote doesn't count so why bother" stanceChat Icon Chat Icon

I try to drag him, but it usually is an exercise in futility.

Re: You and your DH/DW/SO..difference of opinion politically?

Yes. And it's something that is surprising me.

I thought we were the same, but the more we talk about this election and our choices the more surprised I get.
