I think deep down, most people agree with you. But it's not very practical to have a level-headed approach to political discourse, since most political topics of the day are not rooted in morality, but instead are economic agendas shrouded in morality. For example, no one really knows the systems effect of forgiving student loan debt, but politicians advocating for it are quite confident that that policy helps them win. So, being uncertain or open to discussion along the lines of whether or not that policy is good for the US isn't really the point. It's already known to be good for other, more palpable reasons, and any effort to shift the discussion into uncertainty about the effects of the US is only bad for the politician who already knows about the policy's effect on them personally.
