Reply #126: Sometimes being blunt, thought of as rude, opens conversations [View All]

Sometimes it makes people think. I don't see this situation as belittling people in the grocery store or screaming at them, but asking a question, getting an answer, and responding to it. Pointing out the consequences of someone's support is not belittling. It is ok to be blunt and straightforward and not be so concerned with making other people comfortable. What can be more important is openness and educating them by pointing out that voting republican raises taxes and sent people to war. This is educating them.
