    Except that people look at that embarrassment and say “he’s just like me!” and then vote for them

      They should have the right to vote however they wish?

      Are you saying the issue is not that say in America that the dems refuse to hold primaries and their neoliberal policies disgust the general public, its that folks have freedom of speech?

        I mean, I do think that hate speech and extremism such as white supremacism should not be allowed, yes. They do not act in good faith, why should we extend our good faith to them?

        But besides, that is slightly beside the point I was making. What I was trying to point out is that they do not embarrass themselves to the target demographic

          And if you don’t realize that you are being embarrassing then you are not being one? Huh… Majority of my childhood saved!

          And the banning things… Do you think that a large majority of the polulus in agreement of it? If so, then there is no need for a ban as it is viewed as socially unacceptable as it is. But if its not? How could that ever be enforced?
