Now, the issue that had me pondering and that will get me flamed. Do
lefties simply lack good judgement on such a socio/political issue as
bringing up politics in such a situation (I have been in similar
situations involving lefties)? IS it POSSIBLE that the old fogies in
the club are right about social class and wanting to exclude such
persons due to poor judgement? It is possible that I am simply very
disappointed in this guy that I am drawing wrong conclusions.
You're correct.
They think they are on a mission and you had better not differ with
them.
They will stamp and stammer, but not be able to produce a coherent
debate.
Is the tendency to do this a function of social class. Lefties
(around here but prob not in most places) tend to be a lower social
class so might not "get" the social prohibition against such a
discussion in such circumstance. HOWEVER, I dont see most local low
class rednecks (I assume they are righties) doing it.
