To be honest, I think a huge part of the problem with political discussion is how quickly people resort to reductio ad absurdum the moment an opposing view point comes into play.
Lemme give a for instance that will only involve me and hasn't occurred HERE (mainly cause I saw those screen-grabs in the why we left thread and knew my freshly unbanned ass better stfu). I could say "I'm not about illegal immigration. I am pro deportation of non-dreamers".
The reply instead of something reasoned will be "so you support the concentration camps?! You must also be pro-Nazi. Your opinion is invalid Nazi scum" when in fact I sheltered illegal immigrants cause of how the current administration handled them.
The binary viewing of people and their ideas is what makes discussions unhealthy.
