Do you have close friends who has different political opinions than you?

Do you have close friends who has different political opinions than you?

>have close friends
>come on this website

pick one

I probably have one person I'd consider a "close friend", and he's pretty hard left - he was brought up in a very poor family.

As I can't spend more than a couple of minutes with anyone but him, I don't debate politics with him.

That's nice, user.
Not letting politics cancer ruin your friendships and stuff.

We argue a lot about politics, but I think that's just to keep our stance clear. My friends are awesome. Bunch of faggots that they are.

my rommate is an ultra lib (thinks donald trump killed 6 million minorities when he was elected) but he knows i will shoot his shit down so we stay away from politics and stick with the things we have in common. weed, vidya, and cartoons.
Im pretty independant leaning but i think even though we grew up in the same town, i never had money, he did, we have different parents etc so he ended up a bit different.

>weed, vidya, and cartoons

I need to see this sitcom. Both your lives sound like a joke. I wouldn't take anything you both say seriously as you are seriously degenerate.

I'm pretty good friends with some anti-liberal people. I mean the actual definition of liberalism, they don't believe in liberty and equality. One is a collectivist, though his views sway back and forth from nazi-esque national socialism and marxist communism with the wind.

Ultimately I think that these people are wrong, but that doesn't mean we can't be friends. I'd just hate to see any of them in a position of power, and I've told many of them that I would actively work against them seeking such. We don't let our politics get in the way of having a good time.

Please stop using liberal to mean progressive. Let me put it this way, the progressives know what liberals are. There's some famous quotes from the riots at Berkeley that are along the lines of "liberals get the bullet too". Please look up what a liberal actually is. It's not necessarily someone on the left. It's a term to describe someone who believes in liberty and equality (everyone should be equally free).

Yes and I'm ok with it

you could say i only have close friends with different political opinions.
Most of my friends are right wing and they keep sending me their paranoid retardation. Isn't a problem when i'm sober, but when we go out drinking they get agressive about it, and i have to ask them how exactly did they contribute to society and the system.

Yeah, that's a pretty normal thing man.

That's classic liberal - and the left stole it like the niggers that they are.
Now liberal means socialist/Nazi/authoritarian dindu nuffins SJW pieces of shit.

ofc
we discuss a lot about it and aren't twats to each other.

im friends with a black guy, should i be worried?

Starting to realize how many liberals are secretly just elitists who hate poor people.

Most of my friends are hard right or far left. I am the only centrist libertarian, and all of them think I am the extremist in my views for wanting the government to stay out of my shit, and not giving a fuck for what people do in their personal lives as long as it doesn't hurt or interfere with others.
I'm the crazy radical of them all, apparently.

No, it really doesn't. Classical liberal is actually a real term with it's own definition, a type of liberalism. Specifically one which stresses liberty of individuals over equality of individuals. You're further muddying terms by spreading this misinterpretation. Do not let modern collectivists redefine terms for their political gain.

Yes most reasonable people dont hold the fucking retarded hard line the media reports out there. Also most people in a personal setting have the ability to see things from a different perspective.

You sound like a leftist apologist.
Fuck off, nigger.

>I am the only centrist libertarian

Not him but at least learn the history of the terms. Liberal has been labeled to our more left wing types since FDR. Yes classic liberal is still a real thing.

i'm poorer than most of them actually, and i hate both wings equally, but you're right though.

This is especially true for liberal women, who have had rich parents/married a rich guy, and count that as an achievement.

Maybe you should pick up a dictionary and actually read the definition of the word. Or you can keep throwing insults around. I mean, it's not my problem if you choose to stay ignorant. Not like you'll ever have power anyway.

FDR used liberalism to justify his progressive ideology and you're letting him and his ilk steal the political capitol of liberals to this day.

Sorry, keep your trilby wearing neckbeards memes.
I hate those fucking hats.
I, unlike you, have a job, work, and fulfill my personal responsibilities, both legal and personal.
I don't live at home, and believe most people should take care of themselves and not rely on handouts or others as a way of living.
Personal responsibility, maybe someday you'll learn it, kid.

>degenerate
for all you know they could be in college

Live at home with parents* - also don't live at home most of the year because of work on the road.

I honestly don't have any friends. not even casual acquaintances. but I live in L.A so they'd all be liberal.

In college I didn't play video games, didn't smoke weed, and probably didn't watch cartoons because after college I had to work, so between morning classes and work schedule I likely was too busy to loaf around.

how much do you weigh? How tall are you? Do you have a significant other?

I imagine you to be on the pathetic side of all these metrics. Libetarianism is for the failing white male in America. Men who do not live - just barely exist.

omg you so cool. so when someone doesn't follow your exact path they're a degenerate ?

>omg you so cool

no one was insulting you.

You inferred condescension because you are a degenerate with self esteem issues that contribute to your squalor and poor life choices. Stop being a sensitive snowflake pothead and work on your self worth.

5'11, 180lb, been married 12 years, 2 kids.
Own my own home, own 3 vehicles including the semi I drive, I personally make enough to allow the wife to not work if she wishes - but she has her own business that makes more than I do now from startup 5 years prior.
For vacation this year we planned on going to Disneyworld/Universal Studios for 3 weeks because we can afford it.
The kids college funds are paid for, wherever they get into, and we have full retirement, emergency and trust funds set aside in case anything occurs.
How's your life?

I'm in the military and liberal. The vast majority of my friends at work are right leaning or hardcore conservatives.

Some are able to hold a reasonable conversation about our differences of opinion. Some aren't, so we don't talk about it.

Seems like he touched a nerve.

I'm in 2 overlapping friendship groups at college, one is my right wing asf friends who i quite often talk to about politics and agree on most things. The other are all libtard lefties, but when we argue they give up after a few good points.
