Your next 2020 Democratic presidential primary thread: Now we're serious

The foundation of democracy is that an individual vote is always morally valid. People can be stupid, but not “wrong.”

The results - the electoral college choosing the less popular candidate, the winner using his seat for disgusting emoluments, Stephen Miller and his ilk running the NSC - can be morally abhorrent. But the individual voters are not wrong. Misinformed, uneducated, disengaged, maybe, but not wrong. The vote is a private choice and sacrosanct; that is the ideal of democracy.

is it time for a new thread?

Certain posters’ inability to comprehend this is most likely due to a blessed distance from political science classes, which I respect and admire, in a way.

"You can demean them as human beings but never say they're wrong" is batshit insane.

"Wrong" choices have nothing to do with "moral validity." There's nothing "morally invalid" with risky sex - but herpes follows you for the rest of your life.
