If you're arguing based on facts, I'm happy to listen.
I might challenge the facts, or even accept them but present a different take on them.
But if you're arguing on opinion or, worse, speculation, then I don't want to waste one second on the discussion.
There's no point. :-)

Which is also why I don't waste one sec discussing
<insert party name> is B-team of <insert party name>.
Let's talk facts.
Rahul Gandhi has never held an administrative post, unlike Modi.
Yes, we can debate whether this is a negative or a positive or irrelevant.

Delhi Police does not report to Delhi Govt.
Yes, we can debate to what extent this could've hampered Delhi Govt's ability to do more during the pogrom last year (I happen to think they could've done much more).
But this about Delhi Police reporting is a fact.

But this about Delhi Police reporting is a fact.
Everytime I bring up this point that Delhi Police does not report to Delhi Govt, I annoy a whole lot of Cong supporters. :-)
But I'm only stating a fact.
Just because a fact is annoying, doesn't make it invalid. :-)
Be honest, accept it.

Fact is, when Sheila Dixit was CM for 15 years, she had approx 10 years of UPA at the Centre. And the rest of the time was a Vajpayee-BJP Govt.
Not a Modi-BJP Govt.
That's a fact.
One can debate the significance of this in Delhi's governance, given Delhi's complicated structure.

Fact.
AAP Govt (2015-2020) had
- Anti-Corruption wing taken away from them
- MLAs arrested on flimsy charges
- CBI raid on CM
- LG sitting on files for months
and a lot of other stuff obstructing their work.
Whether these actions were legit, can be debated.
But these are facts.

Note that I'm not saying that these actions were not legit.
It's very much possible that LG sat on files for months for genuine reasons.
All I'm saying is, it's a fact that LG sat on files for months.
Now, get into detail, case by case - we'll know whether it was legit or not.

My plea is therefore, let's first try to establish the facts.
In today's manipulated world, even that can be a tricky process.
But it's extremely important to first get the facts, and not fall for propaganda.
And if the facts do support your confirmation bias, good for you! :-)
