I met this person, (let's call them Austen) through my "bible study group" (actually a pop pagan group), and when I found out Austen is a leftist, we hit it off quite well. We've been together for around a month, but we do have our differences, which I can respect. Will our differences be a problem?
I'd be much more worried about a difference in class than a difference in leftist tendency
Just don't deploy your next state directly onto them.
