I think the fact that you're forced to understand that politics isn't just two sides forces everyone to talk about it in ways that aren't so polarizing because you can't just presume the entire basket of stereotypical behaviors that people who believe in the false dichotomy delude themselves with so they can strawman and ad hominem all over the place in lieu of thinking.

It's a meme sub on the surface, but the discussion there is higher quality than any other political sub.

It's amazing what even a tiny dose of nuance can do for the discussion.
