'I won’t sit back and listen to people who, for example, claim to care about the poor, all the while still voting for a party who systematically keep them there' joshcharles_21 writes 👇 GE19
– don’t actually target you personally, then I’m willing to bet it’s a whole lot easier to sweep them neatly under the rug and get back to chatting over dinner about living a life free of persecution.
If you’re struggling to maintain a friendship with someone who you know votes for a party you don’t agree with, I’m not saying your first port of call should be to cut them out. If you think there is any chance of changing their mind, I would advise trying to open their eyes to what’s going on away from their own echo chamber.But if that doesn’t work and you’re still grappling with the idea that your mate supports a party that you fundamentally disagree with, then yes, I’m sorry to say that’s probably time to do someWe choose our friends, and part of that is having the luxury of surrounding ourselves with those who hold similar values to our own.
If you’re more angry about someone who earns £81,000 paying an extra 96p a week in tax than you are about people like my mother suffering, then no, I can’t ‘put my beliefs aside’ and be your friend.Although it means breaking up with friends and partners who are unwilling to change their views, in the long run, I think it is the right decision to shun them, if not for your own integrity, then on the understanding that the way they vote is having an impact on so many.
