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?

    If he's cute just go out, do something fun and just see how well you vibe. Your body will know. As will your mind cause it'll feel like an exciting adventure. Just don't bite your tongue. You don't need to go in with the aim to proselytise, nobody likes that but whenever you're about to say something you feel might come off controversial - just go for it. At the end of the day you wouldn't want to be walking on eggshells around a partner nor would you want them to have to as well. Just be the fun raw unfiltered you, authenticity is always insanely attractive and if you don't mesh then he's just not your type. Anyway don't overthink it, it's not like you're marrying, could end up just being a short fling or a one night stand and those are valuable and legit as well.
