Maybe folks should step back and ask themselves if it's their job to convince other adults that those other adults are wrong.
Find something else to talk about with your loved ones and friends. Don't fall into the trap of letting news or politics be the drivers of your life unless something has directly affected you.

Being a woman, child, or less than independently wealthy means politics will affect you

I'm trans, so unfortunately politics does directly affect me. Ask your family to do some reading about each party's platforms, and then vote left

Based on my experience on this platform so far I bet this thread will lure out some of the most apathetic privileged people who’ll try to convince you shouldn’t care about other people’s wellbeing at all and that they don’t trust people who do.
In their view, having a person in charge that also lacks empathy isn’t necessarily something bad. And they’ll only change their mind once personality affected. That’s just how it works.
I could argue that it is bad, but I won’t. Because these people are literally unable to understand why people care about others.
