what means more to you in a relationship: political "principles" or deep connection?
or
do you consider political principles to be a prerequisite for love?

The deep connection is based on an ideal set of morals, these morals build my political ideology. For my wife & I We may bicker about the 0.001. % but its only the margin of our beliefs.
Ps I view everything through a political science view point
interesting. so i'm guessing it's a prerequisite for you since you view the world through a political lens..?
personally, i don't think politics are inherently moral, but morality is pushed onto politics.
but do you and your wife enjoy the bickering? i guess i'm referring to those who are aligned morally, but differ politically. i've met a few couples who enjoy "debating," but not many.
Deep connection built through trust, set of align values, communication and loyalty. ☺️
i think i align with this <3
Love is first
Then moral principles
Deep connection
No. Like I was lucky to be raised with political debate around me, you know it’s just something you absorb as a kid. And even though like so when my kids were teenagers, they were explaining to their grandparents why they fell a certain way, and my parents wanted to correct him and I’m like hold on now hold on now now they’re growing into adults let them have their opinions they may change. I mean it is what it is. I got a little Long there, but I am smoking.
Deep connection, but some political principles are red flags by their own nature. But TBH I don't bet I'll ever have deep connection.
yeah, that may be right; it gets messy when politics and "morality" blend together.
and maybe that touches the heart of my question: when politics becomes the moral, or when morality is infused with politics, then a difference of opinion becomes a difference of moral values.
but for many of us, our political views shift and evolve. does that mean we become "evil" in a partner's eyes when we change? or do we view our partner as "immoral" as he/she grows in a different direction?
so how much space should there be between moral values and politics in a relationship?
...
also, i know i tend to focus on romantic relationships, because that type of deep connection is what i was blessed with. and they are often greatly romanticized.
but there are many different types of deep, fulfilling relationships and connections aside from that; many i wasn't able to experience either. 🫂
Well I belive morality and politics are different coins, and like coins people may use one to interpret the other, but that alone can't conjoin those things. For relationships, more likely thant not you will only connect that deep with people with similar traits and belief as you.
i think it's common for people to have similar traits and beliefs, and different political leanings.
