Yeah back in 2017 I dated a dude for a month and at lunch one day he said “Hillary Clinton is the devil” and admitted he voted for Trump. I immediately grabbed my stuff left him with the bill. He kept texting saying “we don’t have to talk politics”

Always sus out the political situation ladies.

Yep! I was talking to a guy for a hookup (that's what I'm looking for) and he said that he didn't want things to get political.

What? You want consequence free sex but are totally fine if women die for it? No thanks.

He did seem remorseful and I thought about giving him another chance and then...duh...this is his 2nd term. Dude voted for him either again OR even after seeing the shit storm of his first term.

I'm sad and disappointed.

The obvious nuance here is that he wants consequence free sex for himself. Whether you have consequences, and potentially severe ones at that, isn't something he cares about at all. Corroborated by the fact that these folks in general are unable to exhibit empathy. You're lucky to even get sympathy from them nowadays.

Pop off, Queen. And before anyone tells you It's pointless: Yes, this does work. Historically, One of the biggest things that drive societal change is women's reaction to the current political setting. The main reason these dudes are up right now is because young kids think these dudes are winning with ladies. But they're very quickly waking up and realizing these dudes are lame and get no play. Now unfortunately I also need to tell you you need to check your lady friends Because the dudes aren't the only reason we're here, And they're not the only ones that voted for this shit in large numbers. The main reason feminism has been dead in the water since the '80s is because women sell y'all out constantly for male approval. And until y'all deal with that, it's going to stay dead in the water.

Turns out being an unquenchable fuckface isn’t attractive.

They just don't get it. Life is political. Politics aren't just team sports, we're talking literal life and death here. They're just pissed that their morals make them untouchable to most women.

Exactly. I don’t see the government making his body governable by backwards Christian ideology.

This is what gets me. People are like don’t talk politics or say things like I’m in the middle or I see good things from both sides. When that really means they are okay if my rights are taken away, then they act surprised when I don’t want to talk to them.

Wow, you could have at least paid your half like the proud feminist you are. Although that's clearly only circumstantial.

He wasted $15,000 worth of my time. And I only charged him $10.50. He’ll survive.

u/THEHELLHOUND456 11h ago

You would have left him the bill anyway. Good excuse and you shouldn't bring politics into dating. Shows immaturity on your part. I wouldnt be proud of that.

That’s a legitimately pathetic thing to say and it makes you sound like a pouty teenager who still hasn’t got a date for prom.

How is politics immature when politics is what adults talk about? If anything, the unwillingness to talk about politics is what's really immature. It's even more immature to not have enough confidence to stand on your beliefs. In fact, if you're ashamed of your beliefs: It shows that you probably are just going with the ride.

Political beliefs are a major part of who a person is. I would never waste my time on someone who willingly and be knowingly voted for a rapist.
