Don't let your own side get away with bad arguments.
If you see someone with whom you are ideologically aligned making a weak, misinformed or illogical argument...call them out on it. Explain why it is flawed.
It won't weaken "your side", it will only strengthen it by weeding out bad arguments. If you're concerned not with tribalism but rather with what is true then it's good and proper to expose bad arguments no matter the source.

If there are any magical claims being made, which there are, that greatly weakens a position. Don’t like the attitude of zero evidence assuming taken as matter of fact. That goes for astrology and the related wrongly put in this section. Also want to discuss evolution? Put it in the science section and have it out.
However, positions based on emotion I can understand and have no problems. Be honest.
