Show summary

Political scientist: It is not uncommon for a politician to criticize his or her political opponents by claiming that their exposition of their ideas is muddled and incomprehensible. ████ ██████████ ████████ ██ █████ ████████ █████████ ███████ ████████ ██ █ ██████ ████ ██████ ██ ██████████ ██ █████ ███████ ██ ██████ ████ ███ ██ ████████ ████ ██ █████ ██████████ ██████ █████████ ████████████ ████████ ███████████ ██ ████████

Summarize Argument

A certain criticism by politicians (their opponents’ explanation of their ideas is incomprehensible) is insincere. Why? Because an agenda that can’t be understood by a large number of people won’t be actualized. Why not? Because all politicians know that political mobilization requires common purpose.

Identify Conclusion

The conclusion is the author’s claim about criticizing political opponents for incomprehensible messaging: “Such criticism, however, is never sincere.”
