If we can’t convince each other of the truth of our positions, when we already agree on a great many things, how can we convince others, who we have more fundamental disagreements with? I think we need to have these “internal debates”, until we achieve some consensus. The libs have already done that, so they can present a coherent position to the public in the cultural war. We must do the same, or we are handicapping ourselves.
Describe what you'd consider an acceptable consensus.
