How would you approach persuading a far extreme liberal toward center? What would you set as a realistic goal for a productive discourse? Would it be better attempt to do so in person rather than online?

Interesting to contrast the votes on this with the other thread about conservatives.
No problem with extremists as long as they’re our extremists.
Far left extremism - ending homelessness by taking money from the rich
Far right extremism - invading a capitol building to block vote counts
Far left extremism - silencing all opposition, one party, everyone is equal (except those who are more equal of course), corruption, executions, burning of books, and much more.
If it sounds very similar to right wing extremism, congrats, you’ve discovered a cool fact: all extremism is bad.
If you think I’m pulling it out of my ass, those things happened in my country when we were under Soviet communist occupation. Also extreme poverty, never seen before or after their occupation.
Great, but that’s not what republicans mean when they say “extremist liberal.” Instead they have coopted the term “extremist” so it no longer means anything, except what they want it to, when they want it to.
That’s what extremists do, gaslight, obstruct and project. It’s all 101 level stuff.
I have yet to meet an extreme liberal that wanted to declare one of my children inferior to other humans.
I can’t say the same about conservatives.
I think most parents will agree that they are looking out for their kids first, and until your platform respects all of my children like they were your own, it gets NO support from me.
