Best Answer
"Pushing" in the context of giving opinions or views carries a context of trying to persuade others in a forceful way. A person may be described as "pushy" if they are excessively assertive about any subject.
Someone described as "pushing their opinions upon others" means they are trying to persuade others to take on the same opinions, or perhaps trying to present their opinion as the only valid one.
eg.
It is somewhat different to the term "peddling", an old-fashioned word for "selling" that has come to be a pejorative term describing someone who spreads their views or ideas:
eg.
"Peddling" carries the idea of spreading views to as wide an audience as possible, whereas "pushing upon" more suggests trying to persuade a specific, possibly captive audience.
