Which aspect of a friend is more important to you?

Their personal values. (As long as you're a good person and treat people well, I like you.)
Their politics. (If you're not down with what I'm down with, we're not friends)

@PhoenixPhail and what do u think a lot of women see in a guy friend?
@Nanori I think women look for more emotional things, like kindness and availability.

I think both are equally important. The way I see it, your political stance usually has some influence over your personal values. And vice versa.

They never question my need for them to come over at 2 a.m. and always remember to bring the large plastic bags, duct tape and shovel.
Most of the times their politics ARE their personal values. That is why an attack on their politics is equal to an attack on them.

I don't care for politics

How are personal values not a part of your political views, at least somewhat?

Well, seems to be more the exception than the rule these days with a very divided society

@SUPERVlXEN True, where did the respect go? It's puzzling.

There's non, the say-it-as-it-is tyranny is all over the place. Bad manners are celebrated.

My politics tie in with being a good person. You can't be a good person AND support hateful candidates.

Personal values, hands down. Anyone who makes their politics their religion is no friend of mine.

Definitely personal values and also their feelings & actions towards me.

To be fair, in many cases they’re not entirely independent of each other

Values, of course!

In my opinion, personal values and politics often intersect, but personal values more.

@bijouxbroussard We're lucky in that we're good on a lot of things, and that we don't react emotionally on the things we don't agree on. I'm not threatened at all by a differing viewpoint unless it's harshly proselytized.
@uncalled4 I was telling folks on EP about a longtime friend I have who’s a Republican and in 2013 I went with her to a Tea Party gathering in Walnut Creek, CA. We were treated with hostility and asked to leave. When I told this, someone said, "you must’ve done something". We honestly hadn’t; I respected my friend, and she assumed she would be among friends, too. But it wasn’t that way.
She’s still GOP, but totally non-MAGA.
