It becomes challenging to engage in a healthy discussion on such topics because individuals who advocate for legislation often employ rhetoric such as “protecting human rights is one of categorical imperatives,” which suggests a Kantian approach. While I would support their argument if it were merely an academic discussion on ethics, this is real-world politics involving real people, specifically voters. While you may win an argument for academic ideals by skillfully adapting well-known rationales from esteemed scholars, this does not guarantee that you are actually achieving the democratic ideal, which serves as a political principle to govern a democratic society. nostr:note1jvfg8zzqk9fv4lxjnp7zwcr69zrszel5u8ddu45pw6alyn4hnmvqj59kc6
