I'm lucky. When I met my wife, she literally said: "I don't life getting involved in political opinions. Period." That made things SO much easier. I don't even give a shit when she forgets to vote. I don't want to have to argue with her if she makes a decision I don't agree with. Side: yes
I am not even sure if I ever will marry, but if I did...I think that by itself political compatibility is mostly a non-issue, although I am unlikely to marry a right wing extremist (but you never know). Really what I look for more than anything is personal rapport. I prefer to have ideological similarities with my mate, but I have also had truly outstanding relationships with people with whom I had absolutely nothing in common. That being said, most of the people in my social circle are pretty like-minded to me, and I most often date within that circle. There have been a few exceptions, but mostly my partners end up on my side of the aisle... Side: yes
