This is how it works now. Anything suggested to make the system a little bit better will piled on by arguments that make no sense, and don't even seem to be attacking the actual idea.
The bad part is that otherwise sensible people allow it because it's "rUdE" to say that loudly proclaiming that your neighborhood will be walled off forever is patently stupid.
The worse part is those same otherwise sensible people have zero qualm having a damned cow on you if you mention increasing public transit or Healthcare and all of a sudden don't mind at all saying an idea is fucking stupid. 🤷
