Reply #65: Depends on the voter

[Asgaya Dihi]

There are some who are just hostile assholes with no care for anyone but themselves, there are others though who honestly thought they were doing the right thing. If we treat both the same we'll never win over the voters we need to change things.

Like with most things I can compare this to the drug war. The Democrats drove through eight years of it recently with record numbers of marijuana arrests and a growing prison system and most I'm sure did think they were doing the right thing. There's lots of reasons in the world to resent people but that's normally not the way toward a solution, dealing with people is.

The ones who are just hostile jerks, ignore them. The rest talk with them and see if you can't share a point of view or a bit of knowledge that could change things. There's lots of things out there we should have known about but many of us didn't, that wasn't always through bad intent or our own fault so much as it was to being betrayed ourselves and trusting our leaders to tell us the truth about where we stand. Change the leaders, don't blame the followers.
