1. How is learning new verbal conflict strategy going to bring about real change?

Both sides have talking points, and strategies to counter talking points...
I posit meaningful change has never been achieved by winning the clever quip Olympics.
I thought this was about change and meaningful actions, which demand compromise on both sides.
I thought this was about lives, not winning a gotcha showdown.

Again, come to the table, open and honest and prepared to actually deal with me as a human and not a stereotype, boogeyman, or a caricature, and maybe we can actually accomplish something.
