I’m so tired of this false divide. Its the wealthy vs the rest of us.
I don’t want to go right or left. I want to move forward and leave this stupid, stupid mess behind.

Yes, the wealthy and their supporters, a.k.a. the right... the segment of the rest of us who knows about this ideological divide, a.k.a. the left... and the rest of the rest of us who don't take sides.
These words do mean things. The left is the ideology of supporting less tall power hierarchies, and the right is the ideology of supporting taller power hierarchies. Wealthy left-wing people don't stay wealthy for long, hence almost all wealthy people are right-wing.
Note a common misconception - in the American context, note the Democrats are not left. Trying to contort the definition of left to make the Democrat party fit the definition muddies the meaning severely. However many left-wing Americans do vote for the Democrat party, because game theory makes it the optimal vote if you're left-wing.
