People smell bullshit, so ask genuine questions. If you have an agenda it wont work.

Ask about what kind of role he sees for government, and ask about situations you find troubling and what he things the solution is.

Ask about specific people you may know who are too underprivileged, young, old, infirm to be self sufficient and bootstrap themselves.

Generally give real thought to your opinions and ask him about his. You really can’t change people by wanting to do it, you have to want to understand them first and then enter into dialogue.

Sorta. I’m a comfortable person expressing affection and my inner emotions with friends. I’m also often the one initiating the sharing asking how they are etc, and the physical touch. It’s nearly always me initiating, so I’m kinda uncertain how it is in the other person’s head. Obv not bad enough to recoil or ask me to stop, but maybe they’re just a bit uncomfortable.

Yes. I want it more. I look at relationships among women where that level of physical affection is part of the connection and reinforces it and I want that. I only really have that with my wife and one close friend, who is a woman.
