u/MightyMorph explains how Republicans don't argue in good faith.

Come on, really? You can't possibly go through life thinking that something like 30-50% (Jesus Christ i just don't care what the % of b/c its not important to my argument) of people are crooks or morons. There are so many other pressures that help people decide their vote.

Say we need to do better at reaching these people. Say we need to create more social structures to help reinforce American ideals and build up social communities that humans need to thrive. Say we need to fix income inequality because too many people aren't feeling the prosperity of the stock market.

But please don't label everyone who votes for a different political party as a crook or a moron. This gets us no where. It attempts to invalidate the collective consciousness of half our country because they hold different positions than you.

We can't demonize those with different opinions than us, instead we need to win in the battlefields of ideals.
