Your love may not be political, but what is your sexuality? Are you both citizens of the US, legal or not? Are you both healthy with good insurance?

You were able to afford food. 66% of Americans have said they worry about paying for groceries (as of July 2026).

The beach seems nice... will it still exist in 10 years?

You should be able to freely enjoy these things without thinking about politics. But it doesn't mean they aren't political.

> Your love may not be political

Glad we can agree, and it's my love that drove me to do those things, not my political beliefs or views. Therefore, the actions and experiences themselves have no affiliation with the political, regardless of whether you can try to warp the existence of the beach as a political thing.

We do not agree. You're lucky you're allowed to love the person you're with. But you having a good experience doesn't mean it's not political, it just means it doesn't affect you.

Love, as a concept, is highly political unfortunately.

		No, it's not. My love is absolute, regardless of the political structures around me. If I didn't have any grocery money, I would go out and find food in an act of love for my partner. If the beach didn't exist, I'd fine a way to make my surroundings unique, comforting, and beautiful in order to enjoy a brief moment of serenity. > We do not agree Yes, I see that now. You believe that love is dependent on external forces, whereas I do not.
