Does your current (or most recent) spouse or partner share ALL of your political views?

[Oopsie Daisy]

Discussion topic: Could you ever see yourself in a politically "mixed-marriage" wherein your spouse or committed partner is a member of the GOP or full-on MAGA? Or would that be legitimate grounds for divorce? --- Or... if you are currently in a politically mixed marriage, how do you make it work?

1. We share almost identical views except

She’s pro-life. I have the old Howard Dean position on it. We have agreed to just not talk about it.

[Mossfern]

2. We have the same views

However he likes to shout at the TV, and I get out and do things although my health issues have had curtailed that.
Very frustrating. My husband will get very angry reading or watching the news - I tell him "You're really pissed off- what are you going to do about it?"

5. Oh lord... I feel for you. My husband is the same way. I have to leave the room

... or find something else to do in another part of the house.

3. We're very close but not identical.

I chose "other" because none of the options really fit.

[Ritabert]

4. Identical liberal Democrats

[JanMichael]

6. I am slightly more to the Left.

[Shrek]

7. It depends on the issue

Aligned on most things but on others we diverge, and not always on the same axis.

8. My wife is slightly more moderate than I am

She is a normal old North East urban Democrat. Oddly, on this board, I would be thought of as a right wing nut and she would be a Neanderthal, reality, she is slightly to the left of the American public and I am a little further left than she is and DU is way left.

9. Share about 95% . Try to keep each other

grounded and from climbing the tree. Love
my Mr Ninga to bits…

10. You need a selection for ..... MOST. He does not share ALL.

[Oopsie Daisy]

11. Thanks. Next time.

I take your point, but fortunately this is just a fun poll, for giggles and laughs, and as a vehicle for discussion... not a scientific poll. Precision isn't completely necessary.

13. Most. He has different interests than I do, so some of his views are different.

[IzzaNuDay]

14. My spouse won't discuss their political leanings with me

I don’t have a clue how they vote. They will shut down if I ask a question. After decades of marriage, IDGAF.
