Comments on: Happy Philosopher’s Weekend Reading: Volume 6 https://thehappyphilosopher.com/happy-philosophers-weekend-reading-volume-6/ A Guide to Freedom and Happiness Wed, 25 Oct 2017 04:24:46 +0000 hourly 1 By: ChrisCD https://thehappyphilosopher.com/happy-philosophers-weekend-reading-volume-6/#comment-1711 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 19:04:53 +0000 http://thehappyphilosopher.com/?p=1218#comment-1711 So I read two of them. And they were pretty good articles. But, I noticed they all seem to be from the POF of a Democrat/Liberal even if they tried their best to be somewhat neutral in the article. So it would seem that a post that is about trying to read from multiple sides needs to link to some articles from the “other” side. Of course that somewhat begs the question, what is the “other” side. Trump beat all odds by not only beating the Democrats, but also much of the Republican Establishment which were also against him. So how did he do it? Although, I would love a breather from the campaign, anybody aspiring to run against him in 2020 will need to understand that – other Republicans, a new breed of Democrat, or just maybe a viable 3rd or 4th party candidate.

The article with the “best” title of course could have been better without all of the swear words, but that seems to be a lost battle in the current age of “reasonable” discourse. One thing the article missed though is that the real problem is less than 50% of eligible voters actually bothered to go the polls. So that is the half that got it wrong. They didn’t even try to make their voice heard, regardless of who they were leaning towards.

At least for me, the articles weren’t something I would typically read. Maybe your readers are mostly conservative like me, so maybe your post actually did serve its intended purpose, but I’m not sure.

cd :O)
