How to Make an Argument That's Actually Persuasive
Briefly

In a persuasive exercise, most participants failed to convince their counterparts, illustrating a disconnect in addressing opposing ideological values during debates. Liberals emphasized fairness, while conservatives stressed loyalty.
Among liberals, 74% focused on liberal values such as equality but only 9% appealed to conservative values like loyalty, while a third contradicted conservative principles.
Conservatives also struggled; 70% advocated for English using conservative ideals, but only 8% incorporated liberal values like fairness in their arguments.
This experiment highlights the entrenched divide between liberal and conservative arguments, where participants predominantly communicated within their own ideological frameworks, ignoring the opposing values.
