      The point isn’t to convert, politics is not religion. The point is to use common ground to establish coalitions and utilize diplomacy tactics (compromise and cooperation) to advance practical policies that seek to benefit the greater good. You’re not going to see eye to eye with everyone, and it’s wrong to think that you should only ever work with people who do. If people like her share a common stance with us, it would be foolish not to capitalize on it.
