Critical thinking. Its a good thing. |
|
It never seems to occur to some people that a person who doesn't support their candidate (cult leader, to some) may, at the same time, not be a supporter of the **other** candidate either.
The reverse is also true. One may like both candidates but choose to back one over the other.
I made a post the other day that sent the swarms from the hives. I had the nerve to say Clinton can't win and that Obama people ought to just let her go down in a blaze of self immolation.
In the course of the many completely silly replies, I was accused, in the same thread, of being an Obama supporter and a Clinton supporter.
You can't have it both ways.
There are some people who like them both.
There are others who think they both suck.
So maybe you can engage on issues. And not jump to stupid conclusions that simply fit the preconception (no matter how off base) that infected your head before you gave some critical thought to what it is that was actually being said.
Okay?
