Sometimes the point of the conversations is reminding each other that we're decent and intelligent humans. Giving up on engaging because you haven't converted people is giving up too soon. Sometimes the changed mind is in how we value political opponents, not whether we agree with them.

Yes, but you can't have a political discussion that is productive if there is a fundamental disagreement about the facts

Sure you can. Sometimes it's essential so you can agree to disagree properly.
