Re: Why does Tumblr

[(Anonymous)]

My point, which I stand by, is that the part of their position that's dumb and objectionable is that they think that a third party can win (and that they're yelling at people to vote for a third party based on that understanding). I would argue that voting for a third party is more or less defensible, depending on the conditions and the situation that you're in, as long as you go into it with your eyes wide open. It is not in and of itself wrong to feel alienated from the political process or to refuse to vote for candidates whose positions you don't support. But misunderstanding the prospects for changing that, and acting stupidly as a result, that's where it is bad. I don't think there's any general mandate that people should as a rule always vote for the lesser of two evils.

And I do think, with respect, that you're sneering at them, and you're still doing it in your explanation of how you're totally not sneering at them. Listen, you think they're wrong and dumb, right? So say that they're wrong and dumb, there's no need to talk about how naive and inexperienced they are. And it's kind of arrogant to do so, and inflames the emotions of those you're trying to argue with. And wrong in any case as there's certainly adults who take the same stances.

Ayrt

"there's no need to talk about how naive and inexperienced they are."

Why? That's what they are. You are the one insisting that they're dumb, and I have no idea in what universe you think it's better, and less sneering, to call someone "dumb" than to call them "naive," and why on earth it would inflame someone's emotions less to say "you're wrong and dumb!"

Do you think that it's bad to lack experience? Is that why you find those terms so offensive and "arrogant?"

You're also, I would like to point out, making the exact same point that I am, but getting so caught up in me daring to say that teenagers are inexperienced and naive compared to adults that you're completely missing that. A teenager is not as mentally developed as an adult. Period. This is a fact. Stating it is not "sneering" at teens, anymore than saying "prepubescent children are not as mentally developed as teens" is sneering at prepubescent children.
