The Safe, Sane, Consensual vs. Risk-Aware Consensual Kink debate kind of applies to politics, if you think about the underlying values behind the semantics. Theoretically, there's the SSC school of thought, which advocates an ideal regulatory environment but can't seem to settle on realistic operational definitions for those regulations, and then there's the RACK approach, which places both power and responsibility on the individual. But in practice, most people basically just want fairness and personal satisfaction, and case by case, we're all trying to nudge the rules closer to letting us have them.
