The biggest problem is the political duopoly in the country that has a monopoly on the political industry. It is their interest for the country to be highly polarized, because it is how they raise money and retain power. Polarization is a feature, not a flaw, of their system. Pox on both their houses. Society is not government. Politics and government are orders of magnitude to big and intrusive in our lives. Breaking the political duopoly is the only hope of restoring individual freedom as the foundation of our great nation.
