I agree. One can argue all day long with a dedicated proponent of an opposing view and get nowhere, because the logic one uses, and the facts one chooses to cite to support one's position are pre-selected to arrive at the preferred conclusion. Whereas, in the larger picture, the conclusions are actually arrived at well in advance of any proferred logical argument or adduced facts -- based on the world view one subscribes to. And that world view is the result of many extra-logical factors, such as worldly experience, intuition, peer opinions, religous/mystical experiences, upbringing and inherited psychological temperament. Besides, which is easier, to convince a life-long liberal to change his opinions 180 degrees, or to convince an apathetic conservative to get out and vote?
I am through arguing with the ideological captives of cultural marxism, although sometimes I will post a sarcastic reply to an exceptionally stupid comment, just to burn a liberal's a**, or for the benefit of uninformed lurkers who may take a liberal comment at face value if left unchallenged.
LOL. Intuitively I would go with getting the conservative to vote but man that is a close call.
