That's fine but as someone whose side hobby is literally politics, it's not hard to convince people that disagree with you to join your side. This is what organizing is, please note I am not talking about discussing things online (advocacy). Online advocacy is by far the worse form of politics, albeit the most popular, where you will rarely, if ever, convince anyone of anything.

You're going to have to go out and speak with people that disagree with you person to person to try to convince them to join your cause.

If you can't do this, you won't succeed.
