Be careful when responding to Hillary supporters' posts.

80. You're always changing minds.

It's just rarely the person you debate.


We often forget that for every loud opinionated poster here there are hundreds of lurkers. People who may not have a strong enough opinion to wade into the site with their own opinions. I was like this for years.


Every time I enter a debate with someone I try to bring the most reasoned, logical, factual view to the debate. I'm not trying to change the views of that person. Instead I'm presenting my views to the audience reading.


The beauty of written text is I can't be shouted down. Not only can I respond at my own rate, people read at their own rate. So as long as what I put to words resonates with the reader there is no tactic that can drown out my words.


Go in with the objective of changing minds other than those arguing with you and it's much less frustrating.
