If so, why would anyone want to waste their time in debate with an agent who at best is a variant of gray?

Okay, fine, tell me how I'm *a little* wrong... I was just trying to debate the hardliners.
As to liberalism being dead, I partially agree. I'm pretty annoyed at those on the left who are trying to popularize the term "Progressive" instead... I'm a proud liberal and I think ceding ownership of the word to the right wing was about the stupidest thing we ever let happen.
As for whether it SHOULD be dead or not... this is where I've a bone to pick. I feel conservative "answers" are easy to sell and don't actually work. Liberal approaches take thought and time and a measure of pragmatism which simply has no place in the current political climate.
