But I guess in the case of left leaning people, they fuel the right in having it co-opted as a rhetorical cudgel. The move became label whatever you believe as “facts,” label whatever the other person feels as “feelings,” then declare yourself the rational one.

There’s also a false dichotomy baked in. Emotions aren’t opposed to reason, I mean they carry real information, and ignoring them isn’t more rational, it’s just selectively blind, deaf and dumb all in one step. A person grieving a policy’s human cost isn’t being irrational. A person ignoring that cost because the spreadsheet looks clean isn’t being purely logical either no matter how you slice it.

The distinction between facts and feeling is not some subjective vibe you get in your gut.
Lefties frame everything as opinion so that the conversation doesn't come down to an actual analysis of the data and form of the argument because if it did they would fail to defend their views.

It’s so stupid how you said it’s objective then applied it immediately to your subjective political beliefs. You’re just proving OP’s point idiot.
