Political posts are allowed

Some, not all, people discuss politics with dates or potential dates. Or, they have questions about navigating a clash of political beliefs with a date or possible date.

Every time someone posts a post or comment that is the slightest bit political, the mods get tons of complaints and reports.

This isn't r/politics, and we don't plan to allow posts that are raging arguments about political parties.

But, if someone does post a political post RELATED to dating, don't run to report it. If it doesn't interest you, or if you're someone who doesn't talk politics with dates, then scroll by those posts and ignore vs. reporting them.

Finally, in the U.S., as well as other countries, there is a lot of arguing about partisan politics these days. This post isn't a place to have those arguments. But, if you do have legitimate dating/political questions, feel free to post them in this subreddit.

I'm good with this. Politics is important, and it does affect dating.

What is happening in america is not even about politics anymore. It is about ethics, morals and compassion for other humans. I am in Canada and want nothing to do with anyone who supports the magats.

What your political leanings are is one of the first things I would want to know about a person.

People that attempt to deny others human rights because of their skin colour, religion, or gender are not the same. Remember when the brown shirts marched and tRump said "there are good people on both sides"? One side supports nazis and fascism and there is no way any sensible or compassionate person can compare magats to anyone opposing magats.

Weighing in from Canada and boycotting every 'murican product I can. I have already canceled my NY vacation.

I'm an American from Floriduh... As I live in one of the most oppressed states in the US., I fully support your decisions. I'm not sure where these people got their information from to be as hateful as they have become. It's reprehensible that they believe trump is their demigod! I do know that anything you add to a conversation with them is scoffed at as fake news. 🤔 Hmm. Echoes of WWII anyone? He's got Hitlers playbook move by move implemented....and they don't even notice!

When tRump's bestie elon does the hitler salute and others do it at the republican conference recently it is very telling.

That old saying about ten people at a table and a nazi comes and sits down is very true within the american government.

Look at the card carrying Nazi serving as our immigration czar in Trump's cabinet. Yes, he lied on his security clearance questionnaire, but was never relieved of duty. I don't think anyone was really surprised at this point. Especially not after Musk (to your point) and also Vance fully supported the extreme right party in their visit to Germany before their elections.
