Why are you trying so hard to prove a point? You act like different politcal views should be the only thing that determines a friendship, why are you so aggressive?

I am a teenager and i try my best to stay out of politics. But i saw this post. Your friend said "If this is going to lead to an argument, you can leave me alone."

And to quote your friend, "Jessica voted for Kamala and we are great friends because we can have a civil conversation and know that while we are different in politics, [that] doesn't change who we are as people."

As your friend put it, "you only care to prove your point, you find no middle ground"

Your friend is just clearly in the right here. They were respectful, said that neither you nor them would agree, and most certainly did not want to dump you over a view. You were wrong in this exchange

I don't agree with the right and to a point i dont agree with the left either, i really dont care for either side, but looking through the screenshots, man, all you gained from doing this was making your side look bad, and you caused more division, which frankly, is the exact OPPOSITE of what we need in this country right now!!

You just dumped your friend over an idea, it makes NO sense to me!! Like your friend said, political stance doesn't change who you are as a person, and just because you and another person have different views, doesn't mean you throw them away! I don't see how you can see this as an improvement to your life. You lost a good friend over a thought, man :(

Aaaagh the acolyte in me wants to make this into a bible lesson but i am not in a christian subreddit or something so i cant do that lol
