Everyone lives life in fear of the emotional void that they try to cram closed by pretending that every day is a day to be merry.

Without these holidays, people would slump against buildings nationwide, not crying only from their severely repressed emotions. :D

Sometimes the person's politics shows who they truly are. Like Tories. Their party does vile things while they're in power but I'm supposed to "respect" a Tory voter and pretend they're a good person when they're clearly not?

You know he's caring, and you know that voting for one party doesn't mean you share in their beliefs fully.

Hmm. Hard for me to reconcile the two. Maybe he's the usual right-winger. Cares about people he likes (friends and family) and the rest can go to hell.

Tse for example?

I'm just saying, I would much rather have a kind and caring partner who happens to be Republican than a jerk who's also a Democrat :P

Yeah. Like, Kal wants Snowden tried and I see Snowden as a hero who should be pardoned.

We don't agree on everything, but we're pretty happy together

Just like how the usual right-wing member jokes about joining in on gay threesomes, right?

Which is less of a leap, that he agrees with some-but-not-all of the Right's policies, or that he secretly is filled with a "fvck you" attitude that he's never visibly expressed?

Come on mate, I doubt you agree with your party on every single issue ever just because they're your party.

How are you all today ? :)

True. Still cant see how someone can vote for right-wing policies and be considered a "good" person. I'll give you an example.

The right-wing party promises to cut money for the disabled. Your friend votes for them because they agree the government must "save money." Are they a good person?

I love you too, you pro government surveillance nut job. :p

That's twisting what I'm saying though, and going off info we ain't got.

In this hypothetical, your friend is voting for them for a morally reprehensible reason to you. We don't know why the Guy voted Trump, all we know is that he did and his Wife broke up with him.

You're confligating the party with the individual without reason, and on a person you don't know.

But we've seen some of Trump's policies so how can you think someone who votes for a man with such policies is good, regardless of whether or not they agree with some of them?

Because they believe some help, and they believe some don't.

Just because they agree more with one politician doesn't mean they hate the other, you know :P

I'd make the "Fight! Fight! Fight! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" joke, but I'm already taken by Tim.

I'm sure Trump voters like Tse can survive without my love or respect. I'm sure others give them that.
