And you can express that opinion, and I can find your opinion unpersuasive
and decline to change my mind or actions on the basis of that opinion.
Similarly, you can find my opinion unpersuasive and decline to change your
mind or actions.
If you don't feel that opinion is being taken seriously enough, you can
group together with other people to express that opinion collectively and
try to use your collective reputations to influence people's actions that
way. You could even work within the bylaws of an organization to issue a
statement from that organization as a whole to try to give it more weight.
And of course I can continue to disagree with you and do all of the same
things with my opinion.
The fuzzy and imprecise but generally-used short-hand for this ongoing
process is "free speech." I hear it is vital to defeating communism.
