I met some long time friends for pizza and beer tonight and i thought it was a fun night but right before we parted ways the two of them held an intervention with me. They said i was bringing up "socialist stuff" too much and it was making them depressed. They said to keep the conversation exclusively to things like games and anime. That if i didnt stop they didnt want to be friends anymore. Have you guys/gals/nonbinary pals experienced something like this before?

    That seems like it might be mendable to me at this point, might be worth sharing your perspective with some examples of egregious shit Biden has done as "the stuff you were concerned about"

      Honestly it's not. I don't want spill my whole life story on leftist shitpost board but tl;dr it was for the best. Not being around her made me feel better about myself and there were a lot of problems with our relationship that ultimately stemmed from her. The only way it could work is if I demanded that she change several fundamental things about herself and that's not going to happen to someone I haven't spoke to in almost a year if I couldn't have done it when she was one of my closest friends. There were a lot of problems with us beyond her being a lib that probably aren't mendable and almost certainly aren't worth trying to mend. As much as it hurts, it was for the better, and I think that's part of why it hurts so bad.
