Baseless? Your comment is baseless. If you're out picketing you're not talking, discussing, or debating. In many cases, especially historically, you're not allowed to even talk with them else shit happens. This in no way facilitates discussion or debate, let alone formal debate.
When's the last time you've seen your community observe or participate in formal debate? I live in a college town and it doesn't even happen here. Debate is simply a classroom exercise.
The purpose of signage/picketing is shaming and business disruption. For modern unions it's to pretend they got something out of their useless union fees. It has nothing to do with discussion or debate. Even information dissemination is very limited.
I'm sorry, but your baseless comment is baseless. It doesn't reflect reality in the least.

Not true. Protests often have speakers and at the very least have people with thier ideas and arguments written on signs.

Colleges have turned into leftist indoctrination camps that is why they can't allow open debate. Debates in classrooms are not open. Your professor holds your grades hostage, even when they claim they don't. Then they control the discussion and shut it down when it doesn't go thier way.
I have political discussions with whomever is willing. If you aren't that's on you. If your friends group doesn't what garbage do you waste your time discussing?
