Arguing to change the person's mind is useless.
Arguing to create another opinion for people stumbling over a post so shitty takes are not standing there unchallenged is totally worth it imho.

No need to go into a 20 comment deep bad faith argument - but if there's no comment calling out a shitty take then that's totally something I do think makes sense

I've been staying away from making comments when I am able to resist that urge.

All I'm going to say is, go vote.

Depending on the instance, that comment would start one right away.

Do you really have to use a picture of that misogynistic piece of shit? Irresponsible.

Edit: Downvoting and not starting an argument is cowadice.

I'm fuming. It's always the same people that get cheers and champaign. Respect the hard work of my vanity dammit!

I'm learning to walk away when I run out of funny things to say

I've met one person, ever, who has been willing to change their mind about politics based on conversation. Even better, though both of our tempers rose at various points, the tone remained largely civil.

That person is the most rational person I've ever met and, though I'm not sure the feeling is mutual, I consider them my best friend.

Greedo not shooting first made the movie better.

The holiday special was amazing.

(Maybe not in a good way, but it was amazing.)
