Here you'll see a lot of people who are typically cool with each other be at each others in political threads. Politics is a sensitive topic. Which leads me to ask: Would you date/marry someone with opposing political views?

Personally, as long as everything else worked fine in the relationship and politics didnt negatively impacted how we saw or felt about each other and were able to respectfully disagree, I'd be fine with it. However, I speak without experience as I've never been with people with opposite political views. Closest I've gotten is I'm very anti-military/anti-war which is offensive to many people I've dated, including my gf XD

So would you?

And if you are or have dated/married someone with opposite political views, how was/is it? Does it affect your relationship at all negatively?
