Politicians deserve to be evaluated for their body of work and history which includes statements and actions which may cause one to either like or dislike them.

  I wasn't commenting on evaluating politicians. I was commenting on evaluating things they are involved with and do.

    They get involved in certain things by being who they are. And they avoid other things and other people by being themselves.

      Eating breakfast isn't bad just because Hitler also ate breakfast.

  Yes. And voting is the judgement
  • godelski 5y ago
    That's reducing judgement down to a binary option which doesn't quite capture the breadth of actions. No president has only good policies. No president has only bad policies. All deserve some form of criticism and praise. Some more than others, in either direction. But reducing all this down to an election is ridiculous. They represent us. The system isn't vote them in and let them do whatever they want during those 4 years and then decide if that was good or not. We still need to operate in real time.

    Voting is only the part of the judgement that intersects with voters' direct choice. 99% of things are the public discourse of opinions-- judgements-- that go into influencing people when they cast their vote.
