Politics and doing it
Is it right or wrong to not date someone because of their politics? On one hand, politics is about your core values, and what you think is important about living. On the other hand, there is not much any single dumbass like myself is going to do to change the whole system. Your politics are in effect, powerless, and so you are not really personally going to make widespread systemic changes. There is also a lot of commonground to be found that is not political. The love of reading, or mountain biking, or sailing, or even doing it can all be the central part of your lives together. I think though my final decision is that I can't marry a liberal because they're idiots who have the world all wrong. She'll probably ruin my children if she doesn't abort them first.

For me, it comes down to personality. In my mind, your personalities have to be rather similar, more or less, in order to really connect and have a serious relationship. I think that to some degree, politics are shaped by your personality and life experiences, so to me, they're almost one in the same.
I don't know about you, but I've found that finding a tolerable, smart conservative female biped with whom I could share a life is just as hard as finding a tolerable, smart, liberal female biped with whom I could share a life.
Yeah, good point.
Yeah I guess it is hard. I have heard that your chances get much bigger if you include quadraped. It's Canada, you shouldn't discriminate against anyone for any reason at all. Didn't you guys just legalize interspecies marriage?
"I have heard that your chances get much bigger if you include quadraped."
I wouldn't know. Let's go find a Scotsman and ask!
Wait... Am I not allowed to make that joke because I'm not Scottish?
"Didn't you guys just legalize interspecies marriage?"
Not touching that one. Any response (sarcastic, even) could friggin' ruin any potential political career. Except for maybe alderman of some northeast Saskatchewan town.
"Yeah I guess it is hard."
It's hard, but at least it's hard.
Figure that one out.
