common ground can be found but (loud mouth) extremists at either end of the spectrum with their half truths, sometimes outright falsehoods and intransigent positions make that extremely difficult.

Comments like the one I highlighted above immediately cast dispersion upon anyone who does not agree with them. Not the way to frame a constructive debate or exchange or ideas.

There are plenty examples of the 1st paragraph scattered in just about every thread on DU, even more so in the "group" category.
