I'm meeting a very cute guy tomorrow who so far seems like a liberal and anti-trump but generally not very concerned with politics. Should I try to hint at my anti-capitalist worldview over time and try to slowly shift his views? Should I try to immediately talk about it very openly and see how he reacts to it? Or will that scare him off? But does it matter if he gets scared off? Should I only be looking for people who already share my views? Or would that be narrowing my options too much? Basically, how much should I rant about capitalism on this date tomorrow?

        (accidentally deleted when i meant to edit lol. the buttons are so close and it doesn't ask to confirm? rip)

        agreed. it's so much more important that your core morals align. politics can evolve quickly with a bit of information. when my partner and i had recently met, and, for example, the topic of homelessness came up, and it made both of us seethe at how those in power fail them, and grit teeth at how cruel everyday people can be towards the less fortunate? things like that told us both a hell of a lot more about each other than any political label we could trot out

        so i guess id say: feel out what makes them indignant. and how. it's what's worked for me
