In reply to the discussion: Would you end a friendship with someone who planned to vote third party? [View all]Mikeystyle
(208 posts)20. Give them the biggest dope slap they ever had
people who voted for Ralph Nader really voted for George W. Bush.
blah, blah blah.... that's not how they see it----so what? That's the reality
Third-party candidates claim to be about some issue or another. Naturally, I find it amusing when the third-party candidate draws support away from a Republican but the point is third-party has no chance
"oh, but only if more people would consider a third-party candidate.... if more people...."
---- except they won't, so it's dope slap time!
if Romney wins Roe v Wade and a woman's right to choose will be overturned. The wealthier will get a break and the rest of us will get screwed----that's the bottom line.

I don't base friendships on how they vote; however, my answer is a bit more complex.

I have to disagree with what you say about progressives becoming just as detached from reality

No. (But I don't end friendships with people just because they're republicans, either.)

No. I consider my wife my friend. And, I admire her not being a "purist" Democrat.
