What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

Do opposites attract? How often do you see weird couples like a guy/girl dating someone who is boring with no sense of humor ?

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

Republicans, why do you support Kamala Harris over Donald Trump?

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
