(5,815 posts)Anyone who advocates for legal restrictions should be combatted. We are together in this.
I'm talking about mere personal opinion.
Because I'm fond of imprecise analogies, take drugs as an example. I'm for legalization. I also don't think people should do them (outside of pot, really). That's not a controversial position. It's a fairly logical place many people stake out in politics. So it is with abortion. There are millions of Democrats out there who think they're not that great but should remain legal. I don't see much practical difference.
As for people who don't approve of homosexuality but support equality in policy, I'll largely either ignore them or avoid them. Maybe this is just my disposition, but I don't see the point in wrestling with every asshole who votes Democratic but says ignorant shit. It would be exhausting. As long as you nip the really egregious assholes, the rest tends to sort itself out.
