(101,470 posts)"The first sentence lacks a subject"
No, it has 3 subjects, one for each phrase. "Other people", "I" and "my opinions" are the subjects of their phrases. The phrases are correctly joined by conjunctions, and a comma used at the correct point.
"a named subject would be beneficial to comprehension"
"I" is the subject. The only slightly non-standard part of the sentence is the '--'; most people would use a single dash, or perhaps a comma. However, compared to the grammatical train-wreck of "but you the statement is a complete, repeated for emphasis complete, mis-statement of the OPs actual opinion which is that everyone should be granted the same consideration and judged against the same values i.e. progressive values", it's a model of clarity and correctness. What is that "you" doing there? Surely some commas are needed to help comprehension, even if the reader decides to edit out that "you" as nonsensical?
