How will your SO be voting? (USA election) - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Redlemon · 10-20-2004, 10:16 AM

After reading the heated exchanges in the Politics forum, I'm glad that my wife and I are supporting the same candidate for President. I'm wondering if the people who post frequently in TFP Politics are also so lucky, or if not, how they are handling it.

I hope I covered all the options. If you are undecided, answer with the way you are leaning. If you don't have an SO, or aren't allowed to vote in this election, no vote is necessary, but feel free to discuss (a.k.a the Averett exemption).

Yes, she will be voting and we will be voting for the same guy. We don't totally agree but it is close enough that no china has been broken at our place and neither of us have to sleep in the guest room.

ShaniFaye · 10-20-2004, 10:21 AM

yep he'll be voting and we support the same candidate.....if we didnt I would pull mistress rank and MAKE him ahahaha (Im kidding)

Superbelt · 10-20-2004, 10:27 AM

Yes, we're voting for the same candidate.
(She's Republican and voted Bush last time)

Kadath · 10-20-2004, 10:56 AM

The same. My sister's boyfriend is a Bush supporter, though. They just don't talk about it, I guess.

Averett · 10-20-2004, 11:02 AM

My boyfriend is Canadian so this is a non-issue with us really.

I'm not very political minded. In my family it was a standard thing to not talk much about religion and politics. I never knew growing up who my parents voted for. I don't really know now who they vote for. I think my Dad leans towards voting Republican while my Mom leans more Democrat. I know my Dad voted Bush last time. No clue who Mom voted for. Doesn't matter in their relationship, they've never discussed their voting habits that I know of. But then again, I'm just the spawn

I should hope it wouldn't become an issue with me and my boyfriend. In the future if I'm able to vote in Canadian elections (after moving and all that citizenship jazz) I hope we could discuss politics, but not force eachother to vote how we wanted. If I voted differently than him I would hope it wouldn't cause huge problems in the relationship. I can see how it could though.

So uhh.. after my long ramble about nothing really, I guess I'll say one of us isn't going to vote (cause he can't) and that's okay with us.

Well crap, got in before the edit

How's about an option of "My SO would vote (probably the same as me) but he lives in this silly cold country called Canada and therefore can't"

Awesome

absorbentishe · 10-20-2004, 11:42 AM

My wife doesn't vote, and she doesn't speak about politics. She won't even listen to me when I start rambling on.

mo42 · 10-20-2004, 12:24 PM

My girlfriend is gonna vote for Bush, and I'm voting for Badnarik. Not really much of a problem between us, although I have been trying to convince her how going to Iraq the way we did was pretty stupid and how we should really get a new strategy. No real fights or anything, although it is pretty fun debating.

My wife and I live in Arkansas, and if it looks like Bush is going to carry this state by a wide margin, we'll vote for the Constitutional Party candidate (if he's on the ballot in Arkansas). If not, we'll hold our nose and vote for Bush.
