Please consider giving people who disagree with you the benefit of the doubt that they actually arrived at their positions upon careful reflection, just with a different set of principles and priorities.
- CalChris 10y agoRepublicans voted for Donald Trump. He is a true reflection of your principles and priorities arrived upon after careful reflection. You have left no doubt for which a benefit could be given.
- kobeya 10y agoAnd I suppose no rational person ever could have a justifiable reason(s) for supporting the candidate Donald Trump? How predictable (and dull).
- CalChris 10y agoI'm not questioning your rationality. I'm questioning your values.
- kobeya 10y agoWhat I'm saying is that this statement: > republicans voted for Donald Trump. He is a true reflection of your principles and priorities arrived upon after careful reflection. Is a meaningless tautology in the context of the comment it is replying to. Republicans who voted for trump (which doesn't include me btw, you had made an assumption) probably see nothing wrong with him representing their values and principles in the context of the election. You haven't actually provided an argument about values. Rather you've just said "isn't it obvious" when in fact, it is not to someone who doesn't share your exact views.
- CalChris 10y agoI didn't say that you voted for Trump. That would be rude. I said he is a true reflection of your principles and values. As for my argument about values, I've always found that it's better to judge values empirically.
