You can’t solve a problem without first understanding what the problem is.

I see a serious fallacy of false equivalence in thinking that partisanship is the issue. For instance, if I disliked Trump because of partisanship, that would mean my dislike stems from prejudice in favor of a particular cause, or a bias.

The fact is, I dislike Trump because of the qualities he manifests, including, but not limited to: misogyny, dishonesty, narcissism, ignorance, extreme greed, incompetence, sociopathy, and a few other things. There are data and facts to support my position.

One of the few things that do not trigger a strong dislike for him is his political party, which is, in all truthfulness, indeterminate by any objective measure.

My cause, or bias, if that is where my "partisan" inclination stems, is for civility, consideration, intelligence, and actions serving the good of us all. I don't think that's partisanship at all, I believe it's being a rational human being.
