7. Kate makes statements like, “I’d never date a Republican.” In the wake of the 2016 election, a large percentage of dating app users began filtering out prospective mates who don’t share their political views. Do you think such behavior is sensible or shortsighted? What long-term effects do you think it could have?
8. Ben challenged Kate to see the person beyond the label, believing that having different approaches to solving problems is something to celebrate. Did reading Kate and Ben’s story cause you to reevaluate how you interact with others about politics?
9. Do you think a bipartisan relationship like Kate and Ben’s can be successful in today’s hyperpartisan political climate? Can you think of any examples of successful bipartisan relationships in your own life? Would you encourage a friend to pursue a relationship with their political opposite? What do you think are the challenges and benefits of a relationship in a couple with disparate political views?
