If you want to persuade me to think the way you do, yes.
What if I want the right to vote?
Your opinion doesnβt need to be respectable for you to have the right to vote.
Would you like to take "the right to vote" away from those who's opinions you do not respect?
No
why would i take the right to vote away from someone just because i don't like how they think?
if someone has the opinion that we should take away someones right to vote just because we don't agree with them. that's the group who i do not respect. i don't respect the individual that thinks that way and i don't respect their opinion.
What if our opinions are similar?
