gollark: There are arguments both ways. On the one hand you're trying to make sure that the people you have match the population, but on the other you're going about hiring people based on factors other than how well they can do the job (though that was... probably going to happen anyway, considering), and people may worry that they got in only because of being some race/gender.
gollark: Also, more than that, political polarization generally.
gollark: Sadly, yes, first-past-the-post is awful that way.
gollark: Yes, I agree (except possibly not with the "you need to choose a side" bit); my point is that people often *do act as if* the other side is always wrong, regardless of whether they actually *are*.
gollark: “We must oppose X because the outgroup supports it!”-type stuff instead of actually evaluating whether things are good ideas or not.
