You have to not assume-

You don't necessarily have to respect their views, but you have to assume, I think you have to, when you're dealing with the complicated and difficult issues, you have to recognize that people of goodwill can disagree.

That not everybody who disagrees with you is doing so because they're ignorant, they're ill-informed, they're malign.

I think that all too often when you get into these really difficult and complicated debates, you can set up a situation which is basically, if you don't absolutely agree with my position over here, that must mean you're either stupid or you're a bad actor, and that's not true.

It's also tactically really stupid.

No one is ever persuaded to change their mind by being told that they're stupid.

I mean all it does is make them angry.

Men.
