(13,141 posts)I know progressives who are really really smart and on that account they will never vote for a Clinton.
I also know Republicans who are really really smart and " " " " " " " " " "
We often only think people are smart if they agree with our current best assessments.
But a TRULY really smart person knows how to look and consider what other people see.
How else to make progress -- blind?
in order to expand one's understanding, and weigh all the factors, not just the loudest or most popular. The smartest people I know don't commit themselves to people or causes without looking far ahead, and close up, and long term, and between the lines, and then make choices according to their own Conscience -- an inviolable, invaluable advisor.
