I’m sorry I don’t want to get involved in political discussion.

I see there are a billion different viewpoints and I value people too much to hate or berate them for their political affiliations.

Can I just like you for who you are?

You don't need to be sorry.

Be who you want to be here and don't worry about what anyone else thinks.
@SumKindaMunster but I do feel responsible for building some kind of bridge. I can’t just do nothing anymore.

I would prefer that.
It really bugs me when someone says they want to be friends and ask for my political preference as one of the initial questions.

@SW-User That is such an intrusive and obnoxious question to ask in polite company...how about you engage with the person, listen to them, and try to get a sense of who they are before you ask something like that as some sort of purity test.
SW-User
@SumKindaMunster Totally agree with you. But it really shows the state of people, who are willing to disengage with someone based on their political preferences overlooking everything else that they bring to the table. Which reflects the state of the world - fractioned.

@SW-User It's a great point, and I am glad to see some people are aware of this and looking to move past it. I've seen this a little with my family, my Mom and I do not agree on politics, but I've made a point of telling her none of that matters, she is my mother and I will always love her. She feels the same of course. I think its important to remember that, we are all human and there is a lot we have in common and agree on. We seem to be living through a time of hyper partisanship and massive political propaganda campaigns.

Sometimes "who you are" is someone that votes to take away other people's rights and some people don't like that. Crazy.
@SW-User so you think you’re going to stop people from making their choices? I didn’t say you had to like them.

Why do people have to twist any attempt of kindness into politics….

Crazy
SW-User
@BrokenAbyss No, my point is that I can't stop them or make them care about other people through being polite and ignoring our differences. They're going to be hateful and ignorant and spread it to everyone else regardless. So they're a waste of my time.
@SW-User But do you really believe splitting yourselves further apart is going to resolve anything?

What happens when nobody cares because nobody cared?

This post should be pinned on SW homepage, so that Left and Far-Right could stop debating and fighting over the future beyond our control.🙏😇
Eww political argu…. discussions 🤢

It’s hip to be square but that’s just next level “get a life”
@Teggy I wish we could connect
