Ratbastid, I have asked a similar question before in this forum.
What is the point of debating politics? During the last 30 years, not once have I witnessed someone change their opinion on fundamental questions of politics as a result of a debate. Not a single time.
So what is the point other than vanity? I see none.
As an aside, I will tell you that my political philosophy and affiliation have changed dramatically over the years. My change was not the result of a political debate nor of a lifetime of political debates. Instead, it was personal experience and study that led me to a different conclusion.
Today, in this forum, I could post an opinion about a political matter and within 24 hours someone would respond in a way that would be either implicitly or explicitly insulting. Guaranteed. So what's the point of even talking about politics? I see none.
