Incorrect advertising that should cease

Anytime someone says, "We should have a conversation about, (insert topic here)", they don't know what they're talking about.

For example, police brutality.

Left winger: We need to have a conversation about George Floyd.

Right winger: Alright; I think George Floyd is a crack addict criminal that raped a bunch of women and he deserved what happened to him.

Left winger: RACIST!  FUCK YOU!!

Me: Hey left winger; what were you expecting?  The right winger is going to agree with you?

If so, then you haven't thought it through.

Debating and politics isn't your thing; expanding your political ideology isn't your thing because anytime a right winger inevitibly disagrees with you, you dismiss it as, "hate speech".

This is fine; just like it's fine that engineering isn't Bob Ross'es thing.  But Bob Ross doesn't become an engineer; and if dealing with hate speech (aka GOP speech) isn't your thing, then don't engage with right wingers (or really any stranger, because a stranger might be a right winger as well, so why put yourself through the pain of having to deal with their hate speech?).

By "we" they mean themselves and the people who agree with them.

But they are talking to broader society where not everyone agrees with them.

Otherwise, what's the point of talking about politics to people you already agree with?

There is no need for planned parenthood workers to discuss abortion; everyone of them is pro choice.  It only makes sense to do that with someone you don't agree with.

It also means they can't spread their beliefs because to do that, you would have to find someone whose politics you don't know (so they might disagree with you strongly and if they do, then they will say what you believe is hate speech, leading to a bunch of left wing pain).

For some, it's a lot less stressful than talking about politics to people they disagree with. A waste of time, to be sure, but everyone has their vices.

They usually mean "I talk now, and you just listen and agree".

No one starts a conversation with you with goal of changing their own mind, but goal of changing yours.

And that is true almost everywhere. Whats interesting is that people rarely even change their minds. I see people in real life constantly repeating false claims even after it was explained to them why they were clearly false.

"Some smokers live to 100, while some non-smokers die at 40." comes to mind as I hear it very often. I had to explain countless times why that is not even an argument against "smoking decreases average life expectancy"  or argument that smoking is healthy.

Oh shit.  That's a good point.  Talking politics with people you know that will agree with is a vice.  I probably should stop doing that.

How often do you think it occurs?

Person A is party A.  Person B is party B.  If anyone changes their minds, then what do you think is the odds of it happening?

I have changed my mind plenty of times. But regular people almost never change their minds. It doesnt even matter which party. To put it simply, if there are tons of evidence that other side is right, and just tiny bit of evidence that they are right, they will accept tiny bit of evidence over tons of evidence. As for USA, there are 3 main types of voters: the ones which would always vote for Trump, the ones which would never vote for Trump, and the ones which just vote randomly according to media outout. The first two are majority of voters, and they almost never ever change their mind. The 3rd group is mostly made up of people who are just going with the flow. They dont change their own mind, the much better expression would be that they dont have their own mind. They just do as media guide them, voting by feelings mostly. Now, people who do have their own opinion and change it often enough are super rare, even among highly educated.

What % of the population do you think this is?

I dont know exactly. Probably under 5% or maybe 1%.

Right-wingers do not tend to believe George Floyd deserved to be murdered by a police officer.

Some deny it was murder.

You are inserting your own sociopathic takes and projecting them onto others.
