I'm meeting a very cute guy tomorrow who so far seems like a liberal and anti-trump but generally not very concerned with politics. Should I try to hint at my anti-capitalist worldview over time and try to slowly shift his views? Should I try to immediately talk about it very openly and see how he reacts to it? Or will that scare him off? But does it matter if he gets scared off? Should I only be looking for people who already share my views? Or would that be narrowing my options too much? Basically, how much should I rant about capitalism on this date tomorrow?

    i only date hardcore leftists cause ive been raped by 1 liberal and 1 conservative, nothing bad with leftists yet. i even had one fash adjacent guy lie about his politics to get with me, he basically impersonated a liberal. the relationship tends to be way more evenhanded too with socialists, not just me doing everything.
