Hard to tell exactly, but if you want to be more convincing and engaging in these kinds of discussions I would suggest a couple of things. I’m not an expert here by any means though so take with a grain of salt:
Give up trying to convince someone to your side in one conversation. The most you can hope to do is plant a seed for further reflection that may eventually lead to the person changing their mind but don’t even count on that.
Try not to come into the conversation assuming you are right. It can influence the way you talk, makes you less engaging and more easy to dismiss because it can be annoying for people. Try to see it as an opportunity to test and refine your own views, that’s something you can control and an outcome you can benefit from regardless of the other person.
In that spirit, spend time upfront asking questions and understanding the other person’s point of view even if it seems obvious at first. This is a good time to find the areas you both agree on which is going to be really important. Emphasise the areas you agree on and express your agreement whenever you can.
Once you have a good understanding of the person’s position and the areas of agreement, you can start using those areas as a foundation to start building the case for your side. Don’t push too hard, express your views and ask for their opinion, ask them about what they disagree with specifically and listen.
That’s all the generic advice I have really, just try to frame it in your mind as a chance to understand why someone might think the way they do and what you might be wrong about and you won’t leave disappointed. If they’re not willing to engage at all though, best to just move on and not push.
This is simply a false dichotomy. There’s plenty of blame to go around and a large share rests with all the people that had the power to stop this but chose not to.
Wait, you guys are getting NBN? It’s going to take a whole month before my place is connected.
PoV actually being used correctly. I’ll have to put a dollar in the jar. I think it’s up to like $3 now!
If you’re saying shit like “orange man bad” unironically I really don’t think you do.
It’s a government orchestrated bioattack on the unvaccinated! Just look at the data, the virus is specifically targeting the unvaccinated!! Wake up sheeple!!!1

What you don’t know about can’t hurt you, after all. Seems legit to me
Don’t trust your lying eyes. The constitution says what the supreme court says it says.
Resistance is futile
Panama canal, Greenland, Canada, Gaza…is this guy just saying the names of places that come up then saying he wants them? Can he please just stop.
Next time you go to write a comment that contains the phrase “both sides” please stop, think, re-read your comment, then set fire to your device.
Well, obviously. Just look at the massive success by the other major game in the genre, Baldur’s Gate 3. Fucking packed to the rafters with live service elements so that must be it.
Some of the shit people say on here just baffles me, sometimes. It’s impossible to satirise.
No one gesture or action can fix race relations. Just as racism is a societal problem that manifests itself in many ways from tiny things all the way up to awful explicit actions, societal change needs to happen in both large and small ways. Things like having an ‘end racism’ banner by itself doesn’t do much, but it’s part of a collective effort to show that society is changing and to remind people that we need to and are doing the work to tackle the issue.
The only thing racism needs to thrive in society is for it to be quietly tolerated. Removing this banner can be seen as a backslide in that direction.
Yeah but you can’t know for an absolute fact that Harris wouldn’t have done the same thing therefore allowing Trump to get in and actually do it was justified.
