The core of the problem between left and right in this conversation is that though liberals and conservatives both believe deeply in "fairness" as a component to morality.... Liberals see "fairness" as equality of outcome and conservatives see "fairness" as equality of opportunity. You can never perfectly guarantee outcome and you can arguably never perfectly guarantee equality of opportunity. This is also one of many reasons why there can never be consensus on these issues.
The brilliance of a 2 party system is that through incessant arguing and disagreement between 2 ends, the center is always defined. Though it could be reasoned that the wise position is to not be irrational and argue as if there's only one correct view and one right answer, the system itself does in fact rely on those very things to function at more or less, optimal performance.
