that seems mostly right (heh) to me. there are some positions that transparently cause so much gratuitous suffering or have such a bad historical track record that we can comfortably categorize them as "wrong" without much subtlety. most policies and beliefs are not like that.

what I think pluralism does require, however, is being committed to not generalizing or enacting other forms of prejudicial thinking. important to engage with specifics. a specific thing can be judged wrong for specific reasons. general "wrongness" is just bias or partisanship.

The idea that some views can be wrong is just a premise of the tweet. He's clearly not making any general prescriptions about what is or is not wrong. If you accept the premise that there are some views that are "wrong," then there's nothing to quibble about with the tweet.

the premise isn't "it's possible for a view to be wrong". the premise is "no conservative Supreme Court nominee can possibly hold right views regardless of the gender of the nominee" and I object to that premise because no specific nominee has been named.

How is that the premise of that one sentence? You're adding all sorts of additional context. Where is all the coming from?

did you actually read the tweet and the quoted tweet it is responding to? I feel like the context here is incredibly obvious and you ignored it.

And I think your assuming all of it. Regardless, it's an objection to a completely different argument than the one literally stated. Focus, people

If you can't see all the additional assumptions you're bringing to that *literally* one sentence response by Ian, then I got nothing for you
