I really wish I could agree with you, it’s just that I think there’s plenty of people with opinions I mostly agree with on the left that still have dog shit for brains. They also just get pressured into better opinions (for now). These are the people who are more easily converted from left to right and vice-versa, the ones who prioritize a candidate’s shallow charisma above everything, who the political ads and propaganda work on, the bulk of the swing state voters, the democrats who really entertained the idea that Trump might drain the swamp, et cetera. I wish we could ignore them, but we can’t. We have to accept that the bigger fight is made up of smaller fights which do matter. Otherwise it’s just coping and hoping. IMO.
