Summary
The author concludes that we should avoid attacking an opponent’s character in political debates.
Why?
Because these attacks don’t confront the opponent’s argument. They instead just try to cast doubt on the opponent’s right to be in the debate.
Notable Assumptions
The author doesn’t provide us with any premise that tells us what kinds of attacks “should be avoided.”
These are principles that would help connect the premises to the conclusion:
If an attack does not confront an opponent’s argument, it should be avoided.
If an attack tried to cast doubt on the opponent’s right to be in a debate, then it should be avoided.
