You make good points. But maybe they're less relevant in these times.

I think we're seeing, on both sides of the aisle, voters believing coalition partners with institutional knowledge haven't done jack shit to make changes for the working classes.

The long era of red vs blue, liberal vs conservative is probably over

US vs THEM
