If you see all politics as a power struggle between two sides, then someone who tells you you're not giving the other side enough credit must secretly support that side beneath the surface. Like when a liberal organization like the ACLU defends Nazis' first amendment rights.
My response would be that I don't trust a society that eschews the pluralistic debate step to actually end up with the right norms. If you're on the left and worried about Nazis, you should be just as worried about McCarthyism locking your own views out of the system.
As a wise man once said, the shape of our democracy is the issue that affects every other issue”
IMAGINE sincere Pete posting in 2024. These people have lost the plot.
