The problem is with who you'd consider to be "rational people".
Rationality doesn't touch values. Epistemic rationality is just an accurate map and instrumental rationality is just about reaching your goals whatever these goals might be.
So if, for example, if I axiomatically hate redheads and want to kill them all, that's fine. I can be as rational about it as I want to be.
Are you quite sure you want to talk politics with rational people who have radically different goals?
