It's pretty exhausting, but approaching people in good faith with left-talking points that are dressed up in /r/politics language can make you a lot of progress. Libs love "logic and reason" and all that, so if you can be as smug as them while being more correct, you'll actually have a ton of appeal (to the observing audience). Gotta pick your battles though.
Blue check neolib careerists, TV talking heads, and people with actual power are fair game though. It's just a bad look when people go out of their way to dunk on some dumbass for being a dumbass, instead of educating them.
Corollary: Bullying people for tepid lib takes is counterproductive, unless it's particularly abhorrent or they have a platform.
Thats all people do around here though, its pretty fucking lame
