Presumption
That everyone in a debate offers a position that comes from their best intentions given their understanding
is a sound way to negotiate positions. Demonization only creates more conflict and emnity. It only stirs anger and further digging in of heels. It makes no progress on anything.
If information needs to be filled in the gap, offer information, offer suggestions for solutions, don't offer condemnations and judgmental epithetic conclusions.
Assume people come to the debate with the light they have, and bring your own light.
More and more light chases out darkness and soon envelopes everyone so everyone can see.
