I agree, but anecdotally, as someone who spends a lot of face-to-face time around people on both sides of the typical left-right division, neither of which represent my views, it is very frustrating for me, and I suspect rather pointless for them. I&#x27;ve never left a political conversation like this feeling like I made a dent in anyone&#x27;s ideology; they just leave thinking I&#x27;m a weirdo.
