"Your friend is suggesting a boundary to reduce her aggravation during her leisure time, and it seems pretty evenhanded to me, not self-righteous at all."
"If her proposal bothers you, you can make a pitch for continued political debate, but frankly, if you weren't motivated to vote, it feels disingenuous."
The article discusses a dilemma faced by a person regarding political disagreements with a long-time friend. The friend expressed a desire to avoid political discussions post-election to preserve their friendship, which the letter writer perceived as self-righteous. However, the article suggests that the friendâs request for boundaries is a reasonable way to mitigate conflict and maintain a peaceful relationship. It stresses the importance of finding common ground in friendships, especially during divisive times, rather than forcing discussions that could harm the relationship.
