Re: A possible middle way?
Date: 2006-04-09 12:02 am (UTC)Except that I place a bigger emphasis on telling people they're wrong - but in a non-insulting way.
For example, let's take the person who voted Republican. Just voting Democrat won't change their mind. And calling them heartless isn't going to work either. Instead, the solution is to bring up specific problems caused by voting for Republicans - focusing especially on those issues which This Person thinks are important. But doing so nicely, or at least not insultingly.
I doubt I do it *well*, but I do try.
