Hi all! need some advice about my partner. He says he’s stressed out about this election because researching the candidates is exhausting and the media is biased. He said he doesn’t have any reasons pro trump rn, and his only reason pro Biden is climate change. And his reasoning behind that was that in 30 years he doesn’t want any of his properties to be uninsured/some damages not be covered if it were to be affected by climate change. For background, his dad is pro trump. Do I stay with him?!

What are the values that are most important to you in a partner? Does your partner have those values? What are your core values - what is most important to you as a human? Is your partner aligned?

Whether to stay with someone is so much bigger than an election but this election on particular can point to serious gaps in beliefs and values between two people. Some people (Rs) believe that every person is responsible only to him or herself and owe nothing to the greater common good. Others believe that we are part of a larger society and only by ensuring that all are equal under the law do we have a just society (Ds).

Some think that it is ok for people to go bankrupt if they have a catastrophic illness (Rs). Others this this is morally wrong (Ds) and that there should be a safety net to prevent this.

Where are you? Where is your partner? Are you ok if you have opposing views on this?

I’m kinda at my wits end with this, but don’t know if it’s worth it to keep talking to him about this, even though it’ll probably just keep going in circles. He’s had a very privileged life and has never ever had to think about this. Whereas my parents were immigrants and there are a lot of life experiences/perspectives between us that are just so different.
