This is rather virulent. As a liberal, I do not agree with you. I am sure there are human beings on the other side, and dialogue will help. Baseline thinking is not always relevant. In fact, I believe it is through the moderates on the other side that you can find a reasonable middle ground.
- tootie 7y agoI'm making what I believe to be an observation of reality and a logical inference from that observation. I honestly don't know what to do about it, but I would be willing to personally bake a chocolate cake for every person whose mind I could change. All I'm saying, is that we judge people on their actions, not their intent.
- dvtrn 7y agoI don't really care about what Republicans claim to believe I would be willing to personally bake a chocolate cake for every person whose mind I could change. These statements you've offered today seem in conflict with each other. Change my mind? I'll help you eat the cake if you succeed.

- dvtrn 7y agoThe belief I'd like to change is whatever belief leads them to seemingly vote agains their own interests. Voting against one's own perceived interests is indeed an interesting political act, but it is in no way relegated or unique to American citizens who vote Republican or even American citizens at all. Do you extend this same viewpoint of reprehension to members of other countries who vote against what you've decide are against their interests? Do you extend it to individuals in the US? Your neighbors?
