> Why all the references to "with my hands shaking" and "I'm feeling light headed" and so on? A weighty argument these days is one with an emotional punch. When was the last time that a presidential debate was about well reasoned points? Are the reposted John Oliver clips the ones that cite the best evidence? People instinctively share their feelings about an issue because that's how they get to be heard and listened to. The risk is that the case being made ends up being very convincing to the people who empathise and off-putting to people who don't. I think this thread demonstrates that.
