This is the complicated part, and in a sane society it requires education, discussion, and compromise. But in our insane, dishonest, political partisan societies, both sides pretend the other side of the argument has zero merit, if they even acknowledge it.

I would take it a step further... the "other side" pretends that if you disagree on anything you are a "Traitor" (RINO! DINO! TREASON!!!).
Can you be a Republican that's Pro-Gun Control and Pro-PP? Can you be a Democrat that's Pro Life and Anti-Illegal Immigration?
If you are, you are a pariah and banned from both sides...
How can you have a middle ground when two sides care more about the other side losing than they do about moving forward as a country/human race?
If we only pretended the other side had no merit, we'd be able to actually have rational discussions and move forward...

Well said, and "If you are, you are a pariah and banned from both sides..." is where I lie. The depressing part to me is that I get the sense the majority of HN commenters believe they are above all this. (Furthermore, the HN comment frequency throttle seems to become suspiciously aggressive depending on one's political persuasion. All in my mind though I'm sure.)
