Not sure what GP's line of reasoning is, but I agree the point could be stated in a finer way, although I roughly agree with it. > Partisan issues don't exist because articles like this are useless and ineffective. Partisan stances on this sort of thing is what makes people believe articles like this are useless. You have it backwards. I don't know. Is it really backwards? I can see how it could be argued that partisan stances spread as a consequence of people having short attention spans and preferring short, context-less flamewars on twitter or other social media instead of reading long-form articles like this one and developing their own thoughts on issues. Therefore it could be argued that, since people didn't pay (much) attention to articles like this to begin with, "they are useless and ineffective". It might actually be a self-reinforcing situation, though...
