Pointing out extreme economic inequity is no more partisan than pointing out scientifically measured global temperature increases. Just because one side makes claims at odds with reality doesn't mean it's partisan to point out the absurdity of those claims. |

Even then, though, years of this job have taught me that everyone overestimates the overlap between their views and the pure truth, and that this effect grows, I would even say exponentially, with the intensity of one's commitment to a topic. To contribute well to a thoughtful discussion, each of us needs to take this effect into account and find some way to compensate for it.
