You don't choose sexual orientation, race, nationality, body you're born into.

Conservatism is a choice! And it's arguably the wrong one

Ehhh. I understand their logic at this point. It makes sense to them.

That being said, the basis for that logic is rather insane, so take that as you will.

Look, I don't agree with them either, but if you understand them, then you can pre-empt their arguments. This doesn't seem to be something that politicians on "the left" can do.... So they put forward these very sensible and logical motions, and get torn to shreds by the opposition.
