re: #283 Obdicut

How is it realistic, then, if you’re dealing with an exagerrated situation? The real one would be someone decided that a small fraction of his income was more important than the civil rights of another.

No that would take it in the opposite direction. The real one would be someone who put a substantial impact on their economic prospects ahead of what they perceive as a fringe civil rights issue.

re: #283 Obdicut

I’m not interested in figuring out the priorities of a completely bullshit hypothetical person. Because it’s a hypothetical person. So, imagine whatever the hell you want as how important that benefit is to them.

Ideological bs. These people are independents. Not hypothetical at all. In good times that have lots of time for social causes, and civil rights. In tough times, when they are scared, they retreat to pocketbook politics. You may believe they are hypothetical and irrelevant. I completely disagree.
