I mean, if you are a Republican arguing with Democrat friends or vice versa and it's all just a big YES! / NO! / YES! / NO! fest, then I can see how that's not going anywhere and will only result in hardened feelings. But unless someone is a diehard activist type (and those people don't have any friends to begin with) I've found that most people can be shamed into shutting up about their stupider opinions when they're confronted with something that isn't just a Facebook caricature of "the other side's" arguments. |
Unfortunately, a large number of my friends have degrees in "politics" or "international relations". They have a degree, so their stupider opinions are automatically superior.
