"As I regularly tell my students, if you come away from this course knowing my political views, then I have failed miserably as a professor."

Eye roll to this shit.
Eye roll all you want. It's the truth. I care about doing my job well, and mixing politics into the midst of it is not good practice.
"I watched. I was also grading and helping wrangle a toddler into bed at the same time".

Is it wrong for me to question how much you truly do care about doing your job well if you were focusing on a debate, and your kid, while "grading"?
When you've been doing it as long as I have, you get it down to a science. I have the grading rubric memorized, and I can scan down through the document and mentally check off the criteria. Trust me, no professor with three sections of 50+ assignments to grade reads them word for word. I used to do that my first few years, but you realize very quickly that everyone has written essentially the same thing, so you switch to rubric checkoff. The most important part of the equation happens in the classroom.

Not sure where you got that from what I said, but don’t let that interfere with your opinion.

if you have to make a disclaimer to your students about your politics, you’ve already screwed the pooch
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Oh, wow. Congrats on identifying the bare minimum effort level that you can give to your profession. Oof.

Read that paragraph to your students and employer and see how they feel about that.
