Despite dripping with "both parties are equally bad" and coming across as a chicken little, this article was a better read than I thought. In the last couple of years, I feel we've really just been lucky that we haven't been hit in the face with a truly destabilizing political event that we couldn't side-step around. For instance, I have to wonder how a theoretical repeat of the 2000 election would go down if the republican candidate won the popular vote and lost the electoral college to Hillary in 2016. I cannot imagine the level of incoherent rage that we would see.

The completely insane amount of false equivalence made the article pretty lovely, IMO. Everyone here is pretty much in agreement that there is no left in America, yet the left is somehow just as responsible for governmental intransigence as the right. How, exactly, is that supposed to work? Sounds a bit like Eco's ur-fascism theory - the left is all powerful in its ability to match the right, except when they're not.

Hey they gotta make it so it doesn't seem to be about politics. Then they get to turn on the Dems that didn't attend to being anti-Israel or petty, etc.

Edit: It's a compliment sandwich, first you butter up Obama and then you move onto the criticisms.

Is there really though? He's not talking about left and right. He's talking about party polarization. The actual positions held are not material, just the fact that there is no relief valve for the pressure.
