I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. A hardcore Republican votes for Republican candidates, of which there was reasonably popular versions of for each election. I wasn’t claiming he was a Democrat, just that he wasn’t a “hardcore Republican”.
- epgui 4y agoI was just assuming you could be "hardcore" and still somewhat pragmatic or reasonable, but I'm with ya. (eg.: I'm "hardcore pro-science", but I wouldn't vote for someone I thought was a pro-science evil person. This example doesn't compare to what we're talking about, it's just to illustrate my own point in this comment.)
- mlindner 4y agoThe people who vote for a candidate generally don't think they're evil either.
- epgui 4y agoI'd argue that most people don't think, period... haha. I totally know what you mean, and the key is whether someone has the ability to be critical about and vary their own default position, if you will. This can be very difficult to ascertain, because it's often a matter of counter-factuals.
