How would you handle a situation where two valuable but opposing ideas are presented?

well first i have no idea at all but if I'm making a choice i would take the time to understand the options before i make a decision

The use of the big tent is good for a wide diverse aspect to attract a larger audience for politics, but it can be taken and used for the sheer purpose of using people for their votes.

I would list out the ways that both ideas help the environment, community, government, etc. and go based on that. If one idea has more benefits than the other, then I'd more than likely would go with that idea, unless the downsides are worse than the benefits. Otherwise, I'd go with the second option, also depending on the benefits and downsides.
