and the problem is simple and leads to the huge gulf between the parties. I see it on the left and I see it on the right. It is the belief that the other side is 'stupid'. Until both sides realize that people are (on the whole) not voting the way they are because of stupidity there really be no constructive political discourse. Calling them stupid and wanting them to listen to your ideas and learn from them or accept them is disconnected from logic...how could they ever come to your side if they are 'stupid'?
Believe that the other side is stupid at your own peril...
