Because as bad as it is, it's the only thing we have to work together.
I think I understand what you are saying but I think this is why it is so bad - some see it as "the only thing we have" when it comes to working together and it has never, except in isolated instances, been an example of anyone working together - it has been an "in you face" debating society made moot by veto power.

The only success it has had on any scale is when the issue is so sterile that no one sees it as being a threat to anyone or anything.
