I (34F) broke up with my partner (36M) of 1.5 years after he casually mentioned last night that he didn't vote, and that hasn't in over a decade. What would you do? : relationship_advice

Top comments are general yaas kween comments - but also comments saying he's better off.

98% chance of being bait, but it's working well.

He dodged a bullet.

Anyone willing to break up with someone over politics is honestly pathetic in my view. I hope you break up with him so he can find someone who isn't as petty as you are

Breaking up with someone because they dont share the same core values and most basic morals that you do is anything but pathetic or petty.

People who have opposing morals are not compatible long term.

What a crazy argument.. it's not like he voted for the opponent he just didn't go out and vote. Soo unhinged and insane lmao.

Two things. If you are small minded enough to let politics ruin an otherwise healthy relationship, you are being unreasonable in my opinion.

Two. Maybe he did not vote because he did not have a candidate that he could support without guilt or shame.

Lots of couples have very healthy, long, and happy relationships even with different political and religious views. You both need to figure out a way to work around your differences or stay separated.

Oh just re-read the title, you did already break up with him lol good. Now he can get started living a better life without you

If I was him, in this situation, I'd be counting my lucky stars! Because man did he dodge a bullet. You sound unhinged.

That's what I was going to say, this is childish to highest degree.

You'll have to explain to every female in your family why they're forced to carry their pregnancy in cases of r*pe and incest.

Oh no you can't murder children, whatever shall you do!

Look up the 4B Movement.

Oh no. A bunch of femcels are refusing to have s*x!

Those things do matter, because he basically told you what he thinks of your rights being taken away…not a fig. He doesn't care. No, you shouldn't be with someone like that.

Her rights aren't being taken away. The echo chamber that is Reddit does not represent reality. You are part of the reason Trump won. Grow up.

Her rights have been taken away. Women are already dying because their rights are being taken away.

Stay broken up, he dodged a bullet

If you voted for Trump, you'll have to explain to every female in your family why they'll be forced to carry a pregnancy from r*pe and incest.

OP is the one who dodged a bullet.

Firstly, I'm Canadian.

Second, when did trump say he's going to ban abortions? His position is to leave it up to the states.

He would not answer the question "would you veto a National abortion ban?" And his vice president is a fricking psycho who says that people without kids are sociopaths. Mark my words, reproductive freedoms will be eroded until they are gone.

lol !remind me or whatever that thing Reddit does is

I set up a consult for my surgical sterilization thisMorning. You are deaf, dumb, and blind if you don't see what's coming.

lol

Yep, women dying because they can't access medical care is HYSTERICALLY FUNNY. You're a fool.

Wow, there was the vote Kamala needed. Imagine that.

This past election cycle has damaged our country to the point, it will probably never recover. So I can understand why you feel the way you do. Last night, your standing as a citizen was downgraded to second class, when Trump won. Our democracy was shattered, when Trump instigated an insurrection Jan 6th. My wife and I have been married 39 years. But if one of us started to support Trump, we would break up. It's not whether you are a democrat or republican. It's about being a patriot, and supporting democracy. You made the right choice.

This is why people are leaving the left buddy. Because of divisive, alienating people like you. The fact that you'd end a 39 year marriage over your partners political beliefs is actually insane. The Dems have you by the balls.

? Never offer an analysis on politics again. The dems lost because they didn't go left enough. They played to the center and paid for it. Ya goober.

What analysis did I offer? Never gave a reason why they lost. All I said was that's why people leave the left. Because people like you are obsessed with labels and alienation instead of welcoming disagreements and conversation.

Voting for someone who is a threat to women's rights, gay rights, democracy etc is much more than just a disagreement. At that point we have completely different morals and I dont want someone with such differing morals in my life.

What women's and gay rights are being taken away? Give me an example. Trump has repeatedly said he has no interest in federal bans on abortion (which calling that a right is a stretch to begin with). He wants to leave it up to the states which is a completely reasonable take.

How tf is reproductive rights (a healthcare issue) a state's rights issue? Even conservative women recognize it as a healthcare issue. Actually everyone except conservative men see it as a healthcare issue. But yeah hand wave it away.

Also if you want an example look no further than the three Supreme Court justices Donald trump selected who were the voices to remove roe v wade as legal precedent. Have you been living under a rock? Like this is basic shit dude.

Because the states should have a say in whether or not a women has the right to terminate a life inside them. It's a moral issue, not healthcare. Women aren't magically getting pregnant. Roe V Wade prevented states from dictating laws that affect their citizens.

My husband chose not to vote. I disagree with his decision. I'm not going to end the relationship over it.

Wow, by not voting against a male feminist that wants to force birth our wives, sisters, and daughters, your husband is giving his permission to r*pe and do the same. He is basically a male feminist. And with you not leaving him, you are supporting r*pe and the stripping away of women's rights. YOU ARE A MALE FEMINIST.
