Why is your approach to political forums the only correct and/or reasonable approach for discourse?

It's not but when your discourse includes only trying to destroy the right or left and you refuse to try to reach compromise and try to find the best way for improvement... then you are whichever you want.
You can be elitist because you refuse to listen to the other side and try to find middle ground for the betterment of all..... or a moron for it.
My way may not be perfect, and I maybe elitist myself.... but I want to listen to BOTH sides, find middle ground and do what is best for society as a whole...not just the side I am on because I want to prove myself right and feel all warm and cuddly while I didn't better any part of society at all.
Be pissy, get all defensive about what I'm saying.... hell attack me .... then look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself if you honestly believe that by being so fucking partisan, that by not trying to reach a workable middle, that by doing nothing but fighting over who is all right and who is all wrong, you are truly bettering society as a whole.
I tried.... I couldn't do it any longer. I want to better society, leave a better world for my kid, niece, nephew and their kids and their kids and so on.... I don't want to take a stringent all one side or all the other stance and keep watching my country destroy itself. We are better than this and we deserve better.
But hey if you sleep better at night believing your side is all there is and you'll fight the other even if you know there can be middle ground and a better way that you both can agree on.... then sleep well.
Me? I sleep well because well, I try to keep an open mind and learn and do my best to make sure the part of the world I can control, is a little better than how I found it.
Get enough people wanting to put politics and religion aside and work to find ways to better society.... we will and the world will be a much better place.
Keep fighting over who's side is the only side or who's God is the only God..... you will eventually destroy each other... or if you do destroy all opponents and leave only you... best damned be sure you can better everything you say because if you can't...... you will find an opposition that will grow and destroy you.
Plus, if you are willing to find middle ground and the opponent still refuses to.... you win more people over to your side and middle ground will eventually win out... and you'll end up as the ultimate loser, because everyone will see you only stood for hate and 1 way. Let them see that in your opponent.... take the high road.
Disclaimer: the "you" used is meant as a collective "you" not just DC Dux. I'm sure you know deep down if this applies to you or not. If not God bless you.... if it does then why keep allowing hate to control you?
