There will always be discord when talking politics. It comes from the same mindset we get with religion debates. People do not like being told what they believe in is wrong.
Most debates get to the point where it boils down to philosophical arguments. It comes down to belief systems. And most of them are theory and not truly put into practice, because of compromise.
The problem today is compromise has become a sign of weakness and thus neither side is willing to compromise and thus the beliefs have to go more and more extreme because the people putting forth the ideas are no longer being held to finding a middle ground.
Once, we get a Congress and President of differing parties, I truly believe we will either see both sides work fast for compromise (because it is in the country's and their best interest).... or you'll see both sides continue a power struggle and make outrageous demands to the point a 3rd party truly becomes viable and thus put into power.
