At a debate held at Stanford University on Friday night, two prominent liberal and conservative pundits squared off on the major cultural issues impacting the United States, when a rare moment of agreement was met.

Jay Vulmer, a student, stood to ask a joint question as the tensions rose: "I mean, it really seems like neither of you are listening to the other one, right? I mean, really listening."

Both pundits stood baffled at first, then agreed that neither really cared what the other actually had to say, noting they each thought the other was stupid and single-minded. It was a moment of complete awe among the crowd of students and faculty.

"I never thought they'd actually agree. I was just trying to get them to listen to me for a second," said Vulmer.

Another moment of solace was found later when the debater on the right explained that the issues leading to the 2016 election outcome didn't happen in a vacuum, and the left simply wasn't paying enough attention.

He went on to explain the growing discontent with the system as a whole among many voters who valued a complete overhaul ofpolitical norms over stable conventions. The debater on the left considered this momentarily, and agreed that this impacted his own decision to back Bernie Sanders in the primaries, all the while insinuating that Hilary Clinton was a criminal, up until she became the Democratic nominee.

"It seems like it made some kind of lasting impression," continued Vulmer, a Stanford freshman. "They were both frustrated by a lot of the same stuff. Seemed pretty obvious to me that the conversation kept getting sidetracked by a lot of other things."

The debate closed with a vicious and biting argument over where to find the middle in America today. One debater argued that the middle was further left and concerned with economic stability and national security through covert action, while the other argued they were further right, desiring economic stability national security through overt action.

The final agreement of the night came as the two jointly refused to shake hands before exiting the stage, with one reportedly muttering to the other, "I'll see you on the internet."
