So for one ditch him, he was a 21 year old dating a 17 year old. For two if politics are that important to you, it's important to be with a partner that syncs up with you politically because ultimately very few people will change their tune on their general political views especially if they have a few that are very important to them. For three, organize there's really nothing else that quiets that dread than being on the front line of the solution to said problem.

Part of dating someone is seeing their views and opinions political or otherwise and comparing them to yours.

Are you trying to explain your feelings on his opinions, or are you trying to change his opinion? Mostly because they're vastly different approaches.

I’m not trying to change his opinion, I just wish my literal existential fears weren’t talked away with “just vote better next time”

Okay then, tell him exactly that. And if he still keeps saying just vote better then you reconsider how it makes you feel being in a relationship with him.

You and this guy may just not be a great match. Your family's predicament is not his fault and if he lives in a functional nation it's not for you to try to undermine him. Let him go be happy. Find yourself a revolutionary in your own country and maybe the two of you can get something started there.

I’m not trying to undermine him at all. He’s from Switzerland, I’m from Germany. I never said it’s his fault and all I wanted was my legitimate fear to be taken seriously.
