The trouble is that all too often on both sides of the argument there's actually an argument on one side and utter self-entitled bullshit on the other. That doesn't give them equal validity.
I don't think anybody is suggesting giving both side equal validity, just that engaging with and understanding what is going on with the other side is the key to changing minds. Listening to and understanding something doesn't mean you agree with it. It just makes things less tribal, less them vs us and arms you with the knowledge to try to change people's minds.

I understand that there are a lot of fine people on both sides. Including the white supremacists.
