Hesitate to bring up politics here, but it's hard not to view the divide in the US in terms of this framework.

I'm very much a progressive. But it seems focusing on lots of different (and divisive) issues affecting small parts of the population .. it exposes a lot of weaknesses to the other side to exploit. On the other hand, liberal politicians have ignored basic things like jobs, wages, housing (yes, the Uniparty is in the pockets of the oligarchs). Those are things which affect a lot of people on both sides and are worth much more effort. The results of the NYC mayoral primary show this clearly. Yet, the Democrat leaders are all in hiding, and even worse, working to undermine the NYC primary. Together with the so called liberal newspaper. Sad!
