Politician: It is widely accepted that because democratic politics cannot exist without debate about political issues, and because self-governance flourishes when citizens are allowed to express their feelings verbally, a democratically governed society should refrain from interfering in individual citizen's speech. I argue that a democratically governed society should also refrain from exercising strict control over the clothing and grooming of its citizens, for this is clearly a venue of self expression, and it can also serve to make a variety of political statements, without using words.
A logical strategy used in the politician's argument is to
(A) argue for a conclusion by suggesting that the opposite conclusion leads to an absurdity
(B) reach a general conclusion based on the absence of clear counterexamples to an empirical thesis
(C) support a conclusion by claiming that it is widely accepted
(D) reach a conclusion based on evidence that is similar to evidence commonly thought to support an analogous case
(E) reach a conclusion about what democratically governed societies actually do based on premises about what democratically governed societies should do
