In practice, stop ostracizing people who don't share all your beliefs, even the ones that are really important to you.

i don't see why that would be a preferable strategy. why would you "tolerate" ideas to get more votes if you have gigantic moral issues with these ideas? plus, the republicans aren't being all that inclusive to people with ideas they disagree with either.

If you don't tolerate people who hold ideas you dislike and you lose the election, you won't be in a position to do anything to help your cause. Whereas if you won, you could. I didn't say you had to agree with the ideas, merely tolerate the people who hold them.

And Republicans are pretty darn inclusive of ideas. It doesn't matter what views you hold, as long as you vote R.

If you want to push your agenda as far as you can, to the utmost limit, you could be intolerant of all who oppose you....but you had better be sure you win the election then. If you lose after taking that attitude, you may find yourself in your worst nightmares.
