As a center right moderate I definitely feel this. Especially at work/with acquaintances where I feel compelled to just silently nod and agree with everything being said or else risk my career and social standing.
- 0xffff2 6y agoAs a center right moderate, did you vote for Trump? I might use similar terms to describe my political beliefs if I was into labels, and I feel none of this. I've always been frank about my political leanings when it comes up, and no one I know has had any trouble talking about the issues while leaving the Candidates out of it. That said, given where the Republican party is right now, I can't imagine voting for any R on the ballot (and contra-wise Biden and Jerry Brown are the only two D votes I've ever cast, both entirely in opposition to the frankly scary Republican opponent, not in support of the candidate).
- stanford_labrat 6y agoI did not vote...I've found similarly that issues-wise discussion is not bad, but more often than not conversation is always about the candidates themselves as a package and support for one particular policy means you support all of them.
