This won't be a scientific survey, but I'd like to get a feel for what my fellow Ricochetti think about something. In various comments in various threads going back years I have seen people say that people hate them because of which politicians they support. This does not match up with my experience, but I have been called naive and a Polyanna more than once on Ricochet (and most recently a gaslighter!), so perhaps I am blind to just how awful my fellow Americans are. Here are my two questions:

Do you hate people who vote differently than you?

Do you believe most people who vote differently than you hate you?

    1. No
    2. Yes, if they knew. It is one of the reasons I have been a life long Democrat. I understand how petty they can be.

    1. For example, I won't vote for Javier Milei, but I don't hate people who do.
    2. I don't think so. Maybe if enough of them knew me they would.

    1. Nope, I wouldn’t have made many friends throughout college and grad school otherwise.

    2. Nope, those same friends have had many opportunities to unfriend me after all these years.

    Do you hate people

    Yes. Now what's this about voting differently?

Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
