Proposition
Whatever your politics, we’re all trying to do our best
Proposition:
Actions that we took based on the purest motives may be seen in the future as having been in error, simply because there were things about the situation which we could not possibly have known.
Actions that others took but we questioned may turn out to have been the best possible choices at that time.
Therefore:
We must be compassionate and patient with people who vote for actions contrary to our current beliefs.
We have no way of knowing which of us will be more justified in the light of future information.
Conclusion:
We can only do our best in the present moment.
We are not omniscient.
