One thing I really like in actual sincere discourse is when my position is not poorly represented.

The discourse is much more effective when you talk about your own opinions, thoughts, beliefs. When you summarize the opinions of others, people like me, ya’ll so often get it wrong. Or you reduce our opinion to that of a cartoonish simpleton. I’m sure you can find all kinds of links that support your opinion that “Republicans think poor people are lazy “but what’s the point of that? You arent talking to those Republicans. or maybe you think you are.

It is tiresome and that kind of discussion can be had in 1 million places on the Internet.

It makes so much more sense to me that we actually talk to one another here rather than address a whole bunch of people not even in the room here. if you want me to defend the thought “poir people are just lazy “I won’t bother because it’s too stupid.
