It's better than sending him to a room full of people who already aggrees with him. It's kind of the point
That is the goal in a functioning democracy. That description no longer applies to the US. Our country’s voter base is made up of political illiterates, our new voters get less educated every year, and our elected officials and their oligarch counterparts are running at full tilt in an attempt to normalize and formalize flagrant disregard for our constitution.
Which means it's even more important for charismatic people to talk to the proverbial "other side", because they don't have any other ways to hear the information they don't know they need.
