Unless you're living in a heavily affected area and are in lockdown, I feel like meeting another person isn't too bad. It's a risk, but so is shopping and working. Meet outside, go for a walk, keep your distance and if it feels right, just do your thing. If you're not dating 15 people a week, you're fine. Your emotional needs need to be filled as well and you have to make that judgement yourself.
As for getting to know people in the first place... Online dating is your friend. Tinder isn't great, but it works.
Question: do people who use online dating put their political views in their profiles or is that just weird? And I’ll probably have to wait a bit in my area to see. It’s a college town but they went virtual right before they planned on in person. Still quite a few parties I’ve driven by but hopefully stopping in person classes helped a little
Depends. Lefties often do and are, surprisingly very vocal about their beliefs. A subtle "Fuck racism, fuck capitalism, ACAB" goes a long way. If you are looking for men as a woman, you're gonna get a million likes on any app either way, so just look for people that fit you. I'm personally not opposed to dating some normie-liberals and get into prolonged discussions about economics and capitalism on my first date, so your results may vary.
Apps like OkCupid ask more deeply about your beliefs and you can filter pretty successfully for leftists.
Question: how do you date people during a pandemic as a leftist? Like do I have any hope to meet anyone

If you find out please share. The only way seems to be online dating, but dating apps blow chunks.
I was hoping to date more this year but it's been pretty lonely with COVID.
Find a normie and radicalise them :stalin-shining:
I did that with my last boyfriend. At least we are still friends
o7 my last boyfriend turned to QAnon after he got dumped.
Oh shit that sucks ass. I’m sorry that would be difficult to watch happen I think

Deep leftist in jokes in your profile. Always make sure they get it before you give it is my motto.

I've been having coffee dates via webcam.
But my dating life is mostly on pause. Even when I met someone new it was like... okay I guess I'll ask you out when there's a vaccine?
That sounds nice.
They are sometimes, other times you find out someone can't hold a conversation over webcam.
I also haven't tried it with anyone new. Still would recommend if you have like... existing slow burn flames that might go somewhere later.
