 If you voted for Kamala, I don’t care.

If you voted for Trump, I don’t care. 

If you voted for a third party, I don’t care. 

If you didn’t vote at all, I don’t care.

Politics don’t dictate who I’m friends with. 
 💜💜💜

 Yep. Differences are what makes us stronger. 
 It should be called a private ballot for a reason  
 Yes 
 'Merica!

 Heck yeah 🤙 
 Hell yeah. 

If our politics divide us, I don't want to know you anyways.

Peace and love.  
 I agree so hard 
 U awight…sweetest/funniest weirdo on nostr🙌🏽🫡💕🌅 
 100% 
 Lol yep. And i get this

 Oof. 
 yea this one has clearly gone woke commie. 

there is no nosterati, they can troll all you like. 

Mute is on. Delete will be next. :) 
 I'm not using your tech 
 Don't worry, we got you.   
 it’s not about party.  lotsa republicans voted for harris.  it’s about what you find morally acceptable or not.

rape is unacceptable.

defrauding people, treasonous coup attempt, etc etc etc etc are unacceptable things. 
 This is also worth noting.

I do struggle with questions around why people whom I know, love, and respect, might make choices that I disagree deeply with.

I don’t love them any less. I won’t mute or unfollow someone merely on their voting preferences.

But it’s difficult to understand the gap. I have no love for Harris, but to me, Trump is obviously unfit to lead the country, so it’s hard when people I care about and trust are manipulated into believing otherwise.

My hope is that those who will be most affected by cruel policy are able to find Bitcoin and use it to protect their freedoms in a way they never could before. 
 Much agreed brother 
 thank you ✨🙏✨🥰

you’re right.  it’s better to let go of harsh feelings you have towards people when you see them make horrible, harmful, downright disgusting and evil choices that ****actually end up harming & killing people.****

but it’s a struggle, for sure!  ‘cause on the other hand, evil ignorance abounds…they’re SOOOO ignorant or mentally disorganized.  they definitely earn less respect.  who cares now of their opinion or what they have to say.  they’ve proven to be cognitive freaks…pychotics without consciousness, no awareness & are not loyal to what is good.  unprincipled!  meme zombies!  mentally trashed.  unfollow them!  (then one ends up unfollowing enormous large swaths of people here, lol)

family, life-long friends…rough!  difficult to look at them.

trump is a real & true monstrosity.

how in the world is a monster cool to some people?  ugh.  

idiocy if meme-ing is a deadly virus.

thanks again, bostonwine 🥹💜🧡 
 Thank you 🙏🏻 
 Thank you too 🙏 
 hello fren 
 Hiiii 
 🧡 
 ❤️‍🔥💯🫂💜 
 Absolutely ..votes and politics should be reassesed every for years  .. that is the very point of democracy..

But choose your friends carefully .. cuz common sense does matter .. it is NOT a four yearly ballot thing :-)  
 I voted for everyone! Everyone and everything! 
 You stacked sats? 
 Shit! I forgot. FUUUUUg 
 lol! Still don’t care 
 But I voted for Satan and some evil 6-pack of demons that reside in the atmosphere of Uranus. That’s gotta be good for an evil eye from you or sumpthin. 
 A little demon in the anus is good for the gut microbiome I’m sure 
 What do you care about? 
 Me. She cares about me. 
 True 🫂 
 My man 🥹 
 😂 
 😀💜🫂💖😁😆💥💯🚀 
 What if you’re one of the 7.7 billion people that can’t vote in U.S. elections?

Can we still be your friends? 
 Yes 
 🫂 
 Same. You should see the group chat right now 😂 
 Ohh man I bet it’s wild 
 It’s just funny honestly. Same group of friends since 20+ years. Some banter but in the end politics don’t define the friendship 
 Can we not be friends for some other reason? I love drama... 😂🫂💜 
 Hahaha yes 
 Phew. You had me scared for a minute. 
 then how can you formulate an identity antithetical to the person who caused your childhood rage? 
 Hahaha idk

 Obviously. That’s why I preface everything: https://i.nostr.build/WXdl0j27WCzJ57UT.jpg  
 Can confirmed. If noshole says something that seems uncalled for, just assume i asked specifically for that 
 Bahahahhahaha 🪦 
 Agree 2.1 quadrillion % with you !
Not only about politics, but also beliefs, music...to name a few things that don't dictate friendship.....

"The heart has a reason, that reason does not know."

 
 I feel the exact same way 🫂 
 💜🫂 
 Not defending tyrannies, all good 🤙 
 Values not politics 
 🥰 
 🫂 
 🫂 
 We're friends now. 
 Yay 
 This statement makes you a good person, with solid values. We are friends!! 
 🫂 
 Amen! 
 I wish more people understood this.  
 Me too 🫂 
 vote with your money. The only vote they'll understand 
 Big same.  
 🫂 my people 
 Amen 
 🫂 
 🫂💜✌️ 
 🥰 
 Noshole for President! Make Don’t Give A Fuck Great Again 
 Legalize EVERYTHING 
 Better yet de-regulate everything 
 Agree 101% 
 🫂 
 might steal this and post it over on x. 👀 
 Take it 😂🫂 
 Nah, if you voted for Kamala, gfy. 
 This is the right way. 
 I didn't vote...because I'm not American  lol 
 I vote for bitcoin. 
 Real friends stick together, no matter which way the ballot box swings. 

Bring on the healthy debates - it only makes the friendship stronger! 
 Are you sure about that? Not even a small part of you censors who you hang out with? 

Commendable if true

But in my experience you enjoy hanging out with people who see the world similar to you 
 Saved my week! 
Thank you SO MUCH! 
 There is no red
There is no blue
There is the state
And there is you! 
 your relations are probably vapid ones.

What if your friend is a woke communist?

 They do just fine in China. They tell me how much they enjoy living there and then remind me to vote for Trump 😂😂😂 
 I guess my point was, on a certain level for me, politics do sway who I'm friends with... I'm willing to approach any dialogue with an open mind but I'm all honesty don't think would be spending too much time with world views completely opposite than mind... Case in point: sh!tcoiners 
 But Trump is a shitcoiner, right? He literally launched a shitcoin. 
 Yes, he absolutely is 
 You have a cross icon in your name. Can you spend time with a Muslim or Buddhist? If so, why not a voter of a candidate you don’t like? I think most things can get better with exposure and communication. God bless! 
 A good point made by someone wise once said "would it be religion or capitalism vs communism as the dividing factor" . its really the capitalism. a lot of different religious groups co-exist peacefully in istanbul. no problem them. 

But when one group insists on entitlements and demanding others slave so they can bathe in luxury, this is where I drop them off the cliff.
