I know. And I get your point. But you seem to have missed mine. I'll state it clearly:

Broad generalizations will weaken your argument. They will make it look like you cannot argue based upon the merit of your facts and therefore have to resort to stereotypes.

I have said this before, a long time ago. I will say it again.

In 2016, I will run for President of the United States of America. My goal? An impossible one: secure the spot of Republican Nominee while running on a platform that supports, among other things, the legalization of drugs and prostitution. Yes, I am a <b>Republican</b> that thinks <b>drugs and prostitution</b> should be <b>legal</b>.

My <b>point</b> is that you cannot simply judge someone by their political party. You cannot label a Republican President "bad" because they're a Republican, just the same as you cannot label a Democrat "bad" because they're a Democrat. Let's argue our points by relevant facts and try to keep the broad generalizations out of it, eh?
