Most of us have completed the political compass test and shown others where we stand on those axes...
I am actually curious as to where you think or know your wife/husband/boyfriend/girlfriend/significant-other stands and what you think about it.. how you get along with it... and what political conversation is like
Some who know me better on here know I am getting married again in April... I am pretty sure many would think I am marrying some strict conservative woman... Well, it's actually not that way at all... In the last election, my fiancee was actually an Obama voter (gasp)... While we have not sat and had her do the political compass test, we're going to do that one night after she gets off work just to see the difference on the grid of where we stand...
I can say, that since we have been together, I fully believe she is still socially liberal, moreso than me, on things such as 'gay marriage'... though she is very in tune with my stance of getting government out of marriage... she is going more along the lines of smaller government and I would almost say she is turning more libertarian than liberal... a social liberal who embraces flat tax and hates that government spends her tax dollars for people (even ones in her extended family) that draw more out of the system while putting nothing in...
But even with political differences, we agree on most of the big things and love being together.. showing that differing political stances can get along just fine
I'd love to hear what others in here have in their situations
