How do you deal with people who have different political opinions than you? (1 Viewer)

[uran]

I dont like to talk about politics so i just keep slaying in the world of uran

 

[Pirioca]

If they ask, I tell my opinion but I don't argue.

 

[eclipsoul]

i don't interact with them unless i have to. i'm not really one to put up debates with people, but if someone near me ended up bragging about how they support a fascist party from our country then we'd probably end up arguing as certain beliefs are straight up dangerous and there is no place for them in 2025.

I dont talk to them

Unfortunately I just sit there and have to listen to the BS my family spews.

Yikes, that is painful.

We live in a world where being wrong is worse than death so people will frequently double down when they're wrong instead of being open to changing their opinion as they are close minded. This is a huge issue with politics because for democracy to truly work it relies on people being educated about the issues they are voting for and true information is becoming more and more harder to find.

When democracy works it's better than every other form of running a government however when it doesn't work it can do a lot of damage which misinformation is causing damage to be done as right wing politicians want to either make voters too stupid to realise they're being conned or just too apathetic to realise their vote could matter.

i listen to what they have to say and then i make a mental note to cut them out of my life

 

[Boyo]

If I am right (and for myself, I am always right ), I just don't care about what they say.

 

[kisshuhua09baby]

usually I think very low of them. Yes I think that my beliefs make me above you because your beliefs are killing women, children, and black people

 

[DaisySkies]

I try talking it out with them. if they don't want to share opinions or beliefs in a calm manner, I stop talking to them, but if they're willing to talk things out so we can each other's side and agree to disagree, then we can stay friends and continue talking as normal.
it's about personality and compassion

 

[snsd2beg]

I have to ignore them or else I'll have an aneurysm

 

[Selfmate]

I guess I'm more neutral than most people since I try to understand why they are voting the way they do or have said opinions about certain things

In life you must deal with a variety of people who differ from you and one must learn to deal with such differences and thus understanding why is key to overcoming such differences
