I just saw a talk show on PTS(Public Television Service), where the host talked to young people (who supposedly might care a bit less) about politics. Four guests, including Hsiao Bi-khim (who is currently the spokeswoman for the DPP presidential candidate, Frank Hsieh), were invited to give their opinions on the show.
One of the questions asked was, “Would you give up a potential relationship if the person you’re interested in has a different political stand?” To my surprise, some of the guests actually said yes.
I mean, since when has politics started to play a major role in our relationships? Why on earth would you choose who to date based on political views? Supporting different parties means you two can’t be together???
I recall the presidential election eight years when (rumor has it) countless marriages and families fell apart because husband and wife voted for different candidates or they supported the same guy but their “chosen” one didn’t win.
Come on, give me a break. Move on with your life. Whoever wins the election, you are going to be just fine, as forever.
Gosh, I sooooooooo cannot wait for this election to be over.
