It's pretty depressing when friendships end over something as shallow as political opinions but I've seen it several times. One day people are going to have to realize that your allegiance to the guy right in front of you matters more than your allegiance to some guy who wouldn't even want to meet you if he ever heard of you.

Political opinions aren't just allegiance to some guy you haven't met. That's party allegiance. True, core, political opinions are much more about allegiance to principals and ways of thinking. IMO that's much more important than allegiance to individuals.

If I witnessed a family member commit murder, what's ultimately my core political views are what would determine if I did or did not turn them in for it. And I probably would turn them in.
