    So is everyone.

    Saying “he’s just another dude” as if his opinions on politics don’t matter is that same as saying your opinion (or my opinion) doesn’t matter. Its saying only politicians opinions matter, which is about the polar opposite of reality.

        The phrase “studied on leftist teachings,” as if it’s some kind of religion or cultist ideology, undercuts your claim.

        The ability to entertain an idea without adopting it, intelligence, curiosity, and knowledge are inimical to ideological purity.
