Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

I'll be meeting lots of conservative family members and some of them love to get into debates. What I usually did in the past was just stay away from them as my ideas weren't fully formed yet and I didn't want to make my points look weak.

So is there like some guide on how to debate or a list of some of the most effective talking points that I should use ?

I agree with Ronin_5 that it is a waste of time if they 'love to get into debates'. If they are actually interested in your thoughts and ask questions, you should just answer the best way you can. If they want to debate and not actually learn, no amount of talking points will change their mind.
