[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends what you mean by "screen for political views." I definitely make sure to reference things that matter to me but are also politicized early on in the dating process. For example -- I have trans, lesbian, gay, and otherwise queer friends and family members. I will intentionally mention them to ensure that I'm not on a date with someone who's not cool with that. Ditto my beliefs about systematic racism and sexism. These are things I talk about or are otherwise in my life. If I can't have a civil, considerate, and respectful conversation (or indeed vent) about them, I don't want to be dating someone and they probably don't want to be dating me to be honest.[/quote] I also do this with nonpolitical things, to be clear. If you hate science fiction or think it's lame to read kids books as an adult, we aren't going to get on even if we voted for the same political candidates in every election of our lives.[/quote]
