| Yes. We are aligned but my spouse is just over all of and wants it out of thier face all the time. We talk about it, but not all the time. |

| Yes, not only are we aligned but we are the same ethnicity and from the same marginalized group so politics greatly impact our family. |

| Yes, both as a general topic that is important to us and because we both work in politically adjacent fields. We are fundamentally aligned, but have different enough perspectives/backgrounds that our conversations are fruitful. |

| Yes. Went to a seminar for divorce lawyers and the practice was widely encouraged as a business generator. |

| Always talking about it and almost always aligned. I can't imagine a topic being off limits in a marriage. |

| We don’t discuss it much. DH is apolitical and not interested. I have my own views and discuss with colleagues or friends. Not an issue for us. |

| Yes. And it has corrupted our language. Our morning beverage is now "covfefe." We'll talk about how "many people are saying" something is about to happen "in the next short period of time." |

Same in my marriage. Except I’m so exhausted I barely discuss politics anymore period. |

Of course. I did not marry an idiot. There are no two sides. I would never be with an anti-American, pedophile, and criminal supporting partners. |

Daily. Yes. Lately reading the politics adjacent stories by The Harvard Crimson investigative reporters on Larry Summers' connection to Jeffrey Epstein.
