The Right Use Stories, Emotional Stories, and Statistics

Right use stories, emotional stories, the left often use facts as statistics. It's like bringing a calculator to a knife fight as the phrase goes. I suppose you think part of it is the left say, well, we'll win through reason and that it's kind of demagogic populism to do anything else. But I suppose the point is you can make emotional arguments that aren't based on A, appealing to the basis of emotions and B, based on lies.
