I agree. But what I’m saying is that your time is far better spent talking to people who agree with you, but who don’t participate in politics.

Uncle Bob IS theoretically persuadable, but unless you’re willing to move in with him and convince him to turn off his propaganda channels, you won’t persuade him.

How many hours would it take to persuade him? 30? 100? 1,000? All that is time you could have spent empowering other people who disagree with you, but who are sitting on the sidelines. Their voices and their votes count just as much as Uncle Bob’s.

Democracy is pretty cool. We should try it some time. Voting rights, science policy, political communication and grassroots activism.
