155. The country isn't polarized on the issues

There is a large gap between the policies people support and actual government policy, and there is overwhelming consistency on how the gap plays out. The public, on a wide range of issues, takes positions to the left of government policy. The fact is that a large percentage of the public doesn't vote because policies they support are largely not being offered (you'll notice that Sanders does better than Clinton versus top Republicans, is far more trusted and has much higher net favorabilities). It is people like yourself that are hell bent on continuing to support corrupt politicians that want to maintain this system. The country isn't polarized on the actual issues though, take a look at polling on the issues. Then, look at what your corrupt party and the even more corrupt alternative are offering. The polarization is between those in power and everyone else.
