Marianne Williamson(@marwilliamson):I don't remember ever seeing so many people shaming other people for the way they're voting. No one owes it to us to agree with us! No one has a monopoly on truth! And we hardly persuade someone to vote differently by saying "I'm so disappointed in you" for how they're thinking of voting now. "Are you open to a conversation about that?" might work. Or even "I respect your opinion, but the way I look at it..." In the words of MLK Jr., "we have very little morally persuasive power with people who can feel our underlying contempt."
