    The right, when issues arise, circle the wagons. The left, when issues arise, form a circular firing squad.

    The let’s fractured nature is both its greatest strength, allowing for innovation and new thinking, and its greatest weakness. We often fail to come together for good, when we all want perfect. We often end up with neither.

      Eh, keep in mind that the right have been gridlocking each other in US Congress with the weird alt-right RINO stuff. There’s infighting on both sides; the US essentially has multiple parties within each major party.

      Youre not lumping liberals in with leftists are you? Because liberals arent leftists. Liberals are status quo aka conservative.

          I’m honestly not sure of the difference between any of those, and I’m certainly 1 of them if not all 3.

            It’s simple. Do you want to abolish private property and eliminate capitalism? Then you’re a socialist/ leftist. If you don’t, you’re a at best a market socialist. Or a social-democrat/liberal.

              Seems like the above comment was attempting to provide a genuine answer. Judging by vote count, people disagree with that answer.

              Would be cool if they would say why they disagree or provide their own answer to the question in addition to down voting.
