I hope I wouldn't avoid voting same way as them if they happened to be right on an issue. They're not this time tho.

I would struggle to think of where they would be vocal and I would agree on the same issue. But I take your point

would they be right about islam because the Muslims are generally not white or because of the faults of Islam?

They'd have to be right abt the threat Islam poses to human rights for me to agree with them.

Acknowledge when ppl whose views you normally oppose make a good point. I do it with religious people too.

Otherwise it gets tribal. 'Oh no. You made a valid point but I can't agree with you coz you're part of the enemy tribe.'

yes I agree. Painful as it is to say that. Problem with Twitter though is it is too tribal with little compromise

Yes but I think if you maintain integrity &tolerate quite a lot of difference, u get a good circle of ppl willing to do the same
