Maybe it's an accurate portrayal of politicians but as for the political issues themselves the devs apparently picked only the worst arguments to represent either side.
I think that's kind of the point though isn't it? quite clearly satirical.
The game is written in such a way that the arguments are comparable to the worst level of TV or Internet punditry.
The thread started off complaining about the liberal side, well there are just as many incredibly stupid arguments presented by the Elves for example.
