    Maybe you should save this for the day after the election friend. People being delusional about how good Kamala will be is actually really good for us strategically at the moment.

      Any cause benefited by stupidity is not a good cause. And that does apply to both sides.

        For every cause, there exists some possible circumstance such that one or more individuals having a miscalculation would benefit that cause.

        Proof: Take desired result R. Assume there exists some person P who is opposed to R. Let there be some action that P can take such that R becomes impossible. If there are no downsides to this action, then R will only occur if P makes a miscalculation. ⬜

        Thus, if your maxim holds, then there is no such thing as a good cause.

        A discriminant that labels all causes as “bad” is not useful.

        Therefore, your maxim does not serve as a useful discriminant.
