Sam Harris said that dead children piled in Hunter Biden's basement wouldn't convince him to sway his positions on Joe Biden, or Democrats generally. The man rejected God and Christianity so thoroughly it has him literally defending (hypothetical) child murder for ideology. Truly the descendants of Cain.
Very important to constantly remind yourself that no amount of appeals to dignity or humanity will have any effect on leftist activists, other than identifying yourself to them as somebody stupid enough to try to engage with them.
In case anyone had a doubt... this is from wikipedia:
Early life and education
Samuel Benjamin Harris was born in Los Angeles, California, on April 9, 1967.[12][13] He is the son of the late actor Berkeley Harris, who appeared mainly in Western films, and television writer and producer Susan Harris (née Spivak), who created Soap and The Golden Girls, among other series.[14][15] His father, born in North Carolina, came from a Quaker background, and his mother is Jewish but not religious.[16] He was raised by his mother following his parents' divorce when he was age two.[17] Harris has stated that his upbringing was entirely secular and that his parents rarely discussed religion, though he also stated that he was not raised as an atheist.[18]
Very curious that a man would reject God and Christianity so rabidly when he has a reputation for being so logical. I wonder what his religious background is?
Antonio, I recognize that being consistent in your moral philosophy may be foreign to you, but if I found out that Baron Trump (not Eric, as it would appear Hunter basically lived with Joe so I’m making it as 1:1 as possible) had dead children in his room I would 100000000% cease my support for Trump as it would be impossible for Donald to not know what was happening under his own roof. I would also look at the Republican Party with suspicion for the rest of my life.

It is, because close to no one is actually consistent.
Sam Harris was saying: I don't care at all about Hunter, because he's not the candidate. He made a hyperbolic example to make that clear.

Hunter is a 50-year-old guy. Is he shooting up crack cocaine and spending a fortune on prostitutes with Joe around in the same home? That seems a bit unlikely.

Like I said, your comparison may not be entirely valid, but I'm almost sure that a lot of other people would disagree. They'll just say: "yeah, that's bad, but Biden is causing inflation and leading us all to World War III". Or "orange man bad, Alvin Bragg told us so and DEMOCRACY".
Besides, people have been voting for candidates who kill kids for decades, from both parties.
Sam Harris was saying: I don't care at all about Hunter, because he's not the candidate. He made a hyperbolic example to make that clear.
Actually he was saying that he didn't care about the laptop being covered up, which changes everything. This isn't a hypothetical world where Biden's presidency hinges on Harris' vote and where Harris' voting motives have to be boiled down to obnoxiously reductive logic. It's a real world, where he knows that the laptop getting full, free press coverage would have harmed Biden's campaign.
In this context he said that had Hunter had dead children in his basement and it had been covered up to protect Biden's campaign, then that still would have been the morally correct thing to do because of the extent of Trump's evil. It's got nothing to do with him not caring about pics of a naked guy doing blow and everything to do with him asserting that infowar is morally correct to protect Biden from Trump, even to the extent of covering up murdered kids.
It would astonish me greatly that the Democrats had somehow never managed to dig up any dirt on the Trumps that would point to them being the kind of people that would have bodies in their basement. We know that Democrats are surrounded by people that die suspiciously all the time; any of Hillary's friends, Seth Rich, Epstein, that Obama pool guy, the dead girl in Joe Scarborough's office, Joan Rivers after calling Michelle Obama a tranny, etc.
I balk and the scenario turn-around just because I think the quality of people involved is so different. Sam's problem is that he is so rabidly anti-Trump because of the media he consumes and the people he surrounds himself with. He openly expresses and indulges in his hypocrisy that he's okay with a conspiracy to keep Trump out of office by hiding Hunter's laptop, but then tries to pretend that it wasn't a conspiracy either, and that it can't be a "Left Wing" conspiracy because Liz Cheney was involved (same clip as above). I am anti-Biden and Democrats because I actually engage with and see reality instead of fighting against it and lying about it brazenly; no human is illegal, trannies are women, women are equal to men, all people are equal value, etc.
If Eric had dead kids in his basement, I would not suddenly support the opposite political party, but that is not Sam's problem. He refuses to accept that the world that has been created for him is a lie, and that he has lost his grip on reality. His information is faulty, and he refuses to perform the personal introspection necessary to avoid destroying himself with it. I don't need him to support Trump, I need him to be the honest intellectual that he has built a career pretending to be.

Come on, Joan Rivers? Really? Reminds me of when an old, unhealthy black lady died at age 70-something and people here cried MURDER!!!!!!! because her sister said that it was because of a vaccine that she did not take.
I balk and the scenario turn-around just because I think the quality of people involved is so different.
But you know the people on the other side think exactly the same thing, that as laughable as it seems to us, Joe Biden is a 'decent man', and Trump isn't? You can't just dismiss as scenario because you think it's unlikely. I'm not saying that it is likely, only that no one changes his political views wholesale because the son of a prez candidate turns out to be something nasty.

LOL. Don't remind me. It's so absurd. First admit that it's a left-wing conspiracy, then say that it's not left-wing because Cheney crime family and not a conspiracy because SHUT UP RACIST.
I don't need him to support Trump, I need him to be the honest intellectual that he has built a career pretending to be.
I actually agree. I stopped listening to Sam & Bill Maher because their TDS just became so boring. I also think that the sentiments he expressed in the clip you mentioned are very anti-democratic and quite bad, just that the particular thing you took issue with is hardly unique to Sam as the rest of it is.
Yes, if only tangentially. Joan talks directly into some guy's camera saying "everyone knows Michelle Obama is a dude" and then dies during a routine plastic surgery right afterward. Don't tell me you haven't seen any of the pictures/videos of Big Mike's bulge? It's not my go-to for political assassinations and mysterious deaths, but I'm convinced it fits the bill.
Several solid examples, and you just want to whine about the sketchy one and ignore the point.
Reminds me of when an old, unhealthy black lady died at age 70-something and people here cried MURDER!!!!!!! because her sister said that it was because of a vaccine that she did not take.
Apparently you still can't get over how wrong you were about the "safe and effective" jab. When everybody has been subjected to an experimental medication -- in many cases against their will -- and people start dying under odd circumstances, the burden of proof is on the fucking jab pushers to show evidence that it isn't due to their experiment.
And again, you want to talk about one case where people might have gotten it wrong and ignore the mountains of cases where they didn't.

Just out of curiosity: if Eric Trump had dead children in his basement, would that make you support Joe Biden or Democrats?
That said, if you go around bringing it up and bragging about it, then there's something wrong with you.

The left hold no such morality.

You always argue like a leftist troll.
Why not use an accurate inverse analogy?
Though as the other guy points out Eric and Hunter are not exactly good comparisons either.
I can imagine someone saying: it would change my mind, but I'd continue supporting him.
