Sincerely, an Everygirl who keeps accidentally attracting conservatives."

To answer the question, Josie is joined by Everygirl editor, McKenna Pringle, to have a conversation about the intersection between politics and dating: how much being politically aligned matters for compatibility, the trad wife phenomenon, and how to address politics both on the apps and on a first date to filter out people you don't align with.

She doesn’t take my advice and gets defensive if I point out where she may be wrong or try to set any boundaries.
