There are plenty of people who are pro-life, against capital punishment, and for a reliable social safety net. The two American political parties exist only paper; I've never met someone who agreed with 100% of their parties platform.
That being said, someone having one wrong belief does not automatically invalidate all of their other arguments. For example, Albert Einstein wrote several racist remarks in his travel journal while he traveled Asia. That does not invalidate any of the science he pioneered.
- moorhosj 8y agoI believe it does invalidate their opinion on abortion when they are using “basic humanity” as their reasoning. Some unrelated example about Einstein and racism doesn’t really address that hypocrisy. Not to mention that this same political party isn’t practicing “basic humanity” in their border policy or towards journalists. It’s ok to call out the hypocrisy. Crying “basic humanity” isn’t (and shouldn’t be) a get-out-of-jail-free card.
