Since the values that I find important in a mate are directly related to the issues I find crucial in a political party, it would be unlikely I would want to build a life with someone who had a different point of view on those issues. There are issues I would not be able to compromise on or to understand a mate feeling differently about.
I am politically aware but more so about issues than about specific candidates. I also don't feel comfortable speaking about politics with just anyone because I find my viewpoints to be personal. I also think there is a time and place for everything. It's important to respect people's rights to not be subjected to my politics or political views. I am much more likely to have a quiet personal discussion with someone about politics than to discuss it in a large group. Some one I adore once said to me that he does not discuss politics because in general he could never truly speak about politics from a knowledgable standpoint because he is not directly involved or in the know.
