Which is why it’s a shame to see you fight each other as if that isn’t the case.

I would wholeheartedly recommend reading How To Win Friends And Influence People (or at least this summary). Especially if you’re trying to convince people to vote in the midterms.

    All for the hearts-and-minds approach. I had a few very productive conversations with somewhat right leaning individuals. Don’t want to brag, but one of them has become a member of Die Linke - not very radical but still a left party.

    The conservative ideology does not offer any bright picture of the future. It can only appeal to the past where everything was good and vivid.

    We can have conversations, we can convince people to be on our side, but unfortunately the kids here do not understand it. They hate maga as if they were their enemies and not neighbors

      Some of them might be “kids” (whether actual minors in which case it’s understandable - most of us have been there ourselves - or immature adults) but some of them might simply have been driven past their limit or otherwise burned out. They, too, are in need of this approach.
