Politics and religion (or lack thereof) have a lot in common. If you say you are "X", immediately legions of idiots assume that means you subscribe to a long list of things, as if you can't be an independent thinker who doesn't subscribe to all the stereotypical things rather that you had to pick the lesser of (in this case with politics) two evils.
America is ripe for a 3rd major political party, and I don't mean a socialist party, rather one that splits the difference and yet, recognizes that both current parties are more alike than different which makes it laughable that these two we have cause rabid bickering.
With only two, there's always going to be polarization about issues, when truth and sanity usually falls in the middle of two opposing arguments if both have enough validity to draw significant followers. This last election demonstrates that, but even more it demonstrates another flaw in our system, that people are so gullible and stupid that what are probably the two WORST candidates managed to end up running against each other.
How did Trump win? It wasn't the Russians. It was that the Dems were stupid enough to put Hillary against him.
