I take it that you're in favour of well-structured and fact-based debates through which we reach unanimity following which we act in concert to resolve various issues?
I'm surely in favour, I share your grand vision for the future, there is however one tiny problem.... the people on one side of the aisle have shown themselves to be demented morons.
For three decades we have been debating climate change, the science is in, the facts are there, humans are contributing and we're actively ruining the environments in which sustained human life is possible. But one side disagrees. Oh, they don't disagree about what we should do, something we could have a constructive debate about, no, they disagree with the facts, with the science. Three decades we spent and those people are have not remained morons, they have grown more moronic.
We have people calling a pandemic a hoax, we have people destroying 5G towers, we have people insisting that a possible vaccine for a pandemic is a conspiracy by one of the wealthiest men in the world to implant microchips in the common population.
At this point that side isn't worth talking to, there is no purpose in a debate with someone who disagrees with the demonstrable fact that there are issues in need of solving. Logic and negotiation have failed, leaving two options, circumventing that side or attempting to shame them into doing the right thing, and unfortunately the former is nigh impossible.
