Just like you can declare that pistachio is the best ice cream flavor. But that doesn't make pistachio the best ice cream flavor.

I agree that what flavor is best is subjective. I don't agree that moral issues are subjective, at least not that they are entirely subjective. That's the core of our disagreement. I believe we discussed it extensively, and I'm sure we at least discussed it a bit, years ago.

I meant the heft to make it so, to change the culture to your perspective.

At least for a broad definition of force, that's still force, except perhaps if its purely persuasion. If it is purely persuasion it would seem you saying that I'm not persuasive enough to get almost everyone to agree with me. If that's your point I'd say your probably right, but I don't think its very significant in this context.
