Assuming you voted Dem, why would you want to get along with neighbors who would vote for Mastriano? Different politics means different ways of dealing with inflation, social welfare programs, etc.

Anti-Semitism, White Nationalism, Homophobia etc. is not a difference of political opinion.

Because we all get along outside of politics? That actually happens. They’re not bad people just because they have different viewpoints. People have the freedom to do so.

Edit: I honestly couldn’t imagine getting so upset that somebody I know voted one way and I end up saying, “you know what? Fuck that person. Not gonna talk to them anymore”. Seems a bit extreme.

I actually vote a completely different way than most of my family. We all still get along. Crazy concept to put politics aside and for people to get along with one another, I know.

Mastriano's positions aren't politics. It's hate speech. It's anti-democracy.

I don't understand getting along with someone who would vote for someone like Mastriano. Even if they don't agree with his bigotry, they endorse it by voting for him. I couldn't get along with someone who was ok with that. Same reason I cut out acquaintances who voted for Trump.
