"Don't talk about politics on the first date" used to be a thing but now even as a man I think I would need to know someone's political views in detail before a second date. It's not enough to just vote for the same candidate. Plenty of people who despise each other's ideology voted for Harris. I'm even afraid to talk to some old friends about politics. I know they're Democrats but it's still possible for one of us to say something that would seriously damage the friendship.

It's like being Goldilocks. This one is too far right, that one is too far left...

If i used tinder, or the like, the first line would be “if you ever voted for trump, swipe (whatever way is bad)”

On a side note, why do people swipe? I always find that pressing either button is more convenient.

My phone always ran the site too slowly to swipe, I have no idea which direction was which.
