In reply to the discussion: Would you end a friendship with someone who planned to vote third party? [View all]cui bono
(19,926 posts)38. I have to disagree with what you say about progressives becoming just as detached from reality
as the current GOP. Seriously, those people are guided by superstition and bigotry. That is not what guides the progressive base. No way the same thing would happen. Plus, a progressive trait is live and let live and also to work together for the good of all, but the GOP wants everyone to live as they want them to and could give a crap about what is good for the community, they are short sighted and live in their little "moral" bubble and can't see the consequences of their actions.

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

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.
