I think you're being too nice. Is rage baiting teenagers really a debate?

If presenting an alternative political philosophy causes someone to become enraged (or worse), we’re in a really bad state.

Where was the debate? I wrote "debate and disagreement", which refers to them being together. Not separate things.
