It's easier to find non-stupid views that you disagree with if you don't look online. Weekly political magazines represent every corner of the political spectrum, and are much better written than any random blog. You can also read books by the intellectual giants that you disagree with, to witness the original arguments, not their passed-down derivatives.

It's worth noting that "passed-down derivatives" can be worse or better than the original. Most-to-all of these positions were developed by serious thinkers but weren't handed down from a source of Truth on high.
