In the end, the less people know about Hillary, the better off she will be.
Your concern is duly noted. Request denied.

I'd say what's irrational is assigning a person or group of people as haters. You have, in the past, stated that conservatives see anyone who does not agree with their views as hated enemies. You have defended lefty hate, saying that "it's not real hate the way right-wingers do it. Right-wing hate gets people burned, or shot, or dragged to their death."

You don't know what's in the hearts of others, yet you are very quick to decide who's a hater, and of course it's not you, it's everyone you disapprove of.

Of course you wouldn't, your political religion probably prohibits any criticism of Hillary.

I was generally referring to where both presumptive nominees have a high but near equal unfavorability rating.

Not assuming, challenging your logic.

I have already claimed that human are irrational and we rationalize after the fact. Case in point, Hillary rotten candidate (a majority believes this) and now Democrats want to rationalize her selection as being better than Trump!

Then there is the word hate. How can you ever prove that if I do not like something or somebody, I hate that item or person?

Now who is being irrational?

I guess it doesn't matter how many times I explain my position regarding the candidates to you. You made up your mind about me and nothing will change that. Too bad you have such a closed mind.

Don't have a "political religion" and I do understand Hilary's flaws. I just think Trump's flaws are far worse and more dangerous for our country.

Misery? Those voices in your head are getting a little loud aren't they?

As a wise Democrat once said, "I welcome their hatred".

Wait, I thought you were on vacation. How does the family in India feel about the election?

I wish you had a link to the message you quote above, but i found it, so anyone who whats to look at the complete message, and the context, can do so here: http://www.politicalchat.org/showthr...030#post253030

I stand by my complete comments in context.

Of course I decide if I think someone is being hateful, and may comment. Unless you don't think there's any hate around, i don't see what's wrong with this in principle. I'm always willing to discuss my judgements in any particular case. Is there something you want to dig into further?

I deny your general judgement that I'm 'quick to decide.' You imply my decisions lack basis. Again, cite cases, and we can discuss. Otherwise, thank-you for your opinion.

As for it being 'never me,' if you have an instance where you think I am expressing hate myself, let's hear about it. Otherwise, might never be me because, well, it's never me.

Except it's not my logic. I never said anything as illogical as '...anyone who is not voting for Hillary is doing so because they hate her.'

I'm not out to prove you hate. I just say that if you do, you are irrational. Based on what you just said, I think we agree on that much .
