It simply requires that some attention be paid to the facts on the ground in some issues, and if those facts might actually lead to a rational conclusion, not on whether or not (God forbid!) that conclusion might accidentally put you on the same side as a Republican.
"Consensus" is overrated. It is useful for deciding what flavor pizza to order. It's not useful for deciding what is true or factual. If one side says "2 + 2 = 4," and the other side says "2 + 2 = 6," it is not useful for them to compromise at "2 + 2 = 5"
