Like I have said before this partisan bullshit the American people seem to have descended into divides you, you are no longer just Americans, but subsets of subsets, and because of that you appear to dislike or disagree with other subsets based purely on the fact that they are a different subset. People in order to achieve anything are supposed to be able to work together to achieve a compromise that is good enough for all, not the benefit of a few over the loss of others, as the latter just won't work, and causes strife where there shouldn't be any. But whilst people are arguing, even parroting political leaders, nothing is getting done and what is happening behind the scenes is going on unnoticed, because the people are engaged in empowering politicians who in reality care more about themselves than they do anyone else and that includes those they say they speak for.
But I don't know if your system is the same as ours, where with each incoming government, where they stand on the political spectrum is largely irrelevant, because the civil servants, the mandarins don't change and it is they who control the country, not the political leaders, so partisan arguing is pointless, as no party will change the status quo. Anyone ever notice how prime ministers and presidents appear to have a hand up their ass, well, that would be because the puppeteers are the real controllers, not the face the populace elects and sees on tv.
When it is a people can see where the problem lies, that is when they can join into a cohesive force for the betterment of all and start battling the real problem, as descending into partisanship just keeps everyones eye of the ball
Together people stand, divided they fall.
