Points 2 and 3 are why I don't like discussing politics, especially online. When the side with the opposing view has decided they're right, the discussion is already doomed. It'd be a miracle if everyone was right at the same time, so everyone would do well to be a little open-minded. The chances are that most people are wrong with at least some of their political views, so while it might be hard to change one's views, it would still be good to doubt even your own views.

Point 3 seems to apply to most of the internet, really. Places where good politics discussion can occur seem to be quite rare on the internet.
