I have been with a partner who disagrees with me on many political issues for over 20 years. I'd say it has made me better and more open-minded. We have some core values in common but likely don't vote for the same candidates much of the time. If you can have good faith disagreements and discussions with people who don't share your worldview, that isn't a bad thing.
Alternatively you can coalesce around certain core values while respecting the other person has their issues you won't agree on and vice versa. If your core values are completely out of alignment though, it isn't likely to work.
Yeah, I mean it's one thing to disagree on the minutia of policy vs whether or not trans people should be eliminated.
Let's not ignore the current political landscape we find ourselves in.
You can't have good faith disagreements with people who are not operating in good faith. Republicans have lost their fucking minds.
