Agreed. The extreme division drives me nuts. I hate the fact that any time someone says something, it's the person's political party that will determine whether or not another person agrees with them (in no way pointing that finger at anyone on this forum). If there was a way to opt out of political content in my news, recommended videos, and pop-up windows, I would do it.
This is my biggest gripe too. Politics should not be a team sport. When a person does wrong you should call them out, when they do right they should be supported. Regardless of party affiliation.
The other issue I am having is this idea that if you disagree with an opposing viewpoint it's not because you are a good, decent person that happens to have a different viewpoint, it's because you are a commie or "literal Nazi". There is practically no middle ground anymore and all motivations must be reduced to the basest possible intention.
My family is currently split because of it and I as the politically exhausted hear all sides and agree with none.
