Sure, if you don't say anything, then you won't say anything wrong. I'd like an article to give me a bit more to think about, even (or especially?) if I don't agree with their point of view.

For item two there is an answer, but it’s boring at this point; the way to make a country, absent mind control, less partisan is to shift to multiparty democracy, which requires a change to the electoral system (and arguably abandonment of the executive presidency; multiparty states are usually parliamentary). The US’s constitutional setup makes this, for practical purposes, impossible, and neither existing side wants it anyway, so it is not going to happen. Everyone already knows this. The author _could_ have repeated it, but I’m not sure it would have added anything.
