QQC #2

Quote: "Aspasia treats her interlocutors as her intellectual equals, not attempting to knock them down with arguments but rather gently drawing them toward her own point of view by means of premises they provide and endorse." pg. 59

Question: How well does this means of convincing work? Are politicians today underestimating the power of this form and too quick to turn arguments petty and toxic?
