re: #205 BeachDem

Well, we’ve had George Lakoff telling us how to frame things for umpteen years, but nobody seems to listen to him.

Framing is my new best friend in debates. I’m trying to step back from whomever I’m debating with and take a moment to see the bigger issue. So far I think it’s working well-though it can be hard to keep the other person on point when they use the “well, what about THIS????” method of debate.
Sometimes I even throw in a little something to show where we’re really very much alike even though we disagree on this particular issue.
