Hell no! Are you intentionally skipping the parts of my posts where I say the division is caused by both sides 50/50? How much clearer can I be? Both sides are feeding off the hatred the other side projects and it's making the divide wider and wider. No one wants to take any personal accountability anymore. People on both sides want all of the blame to be placed on the other and that's the problem.

I do have some biases. The difference is that I recognize I do and I admit them, but I still can recognize that I'm not right all the time. I can take responsibility for my own mistakes and not try to pin them on someone else. How is this being simplistic? It sounds to me like you don't want one side to take any accountability what so ever.

Not so. I would love for the left to be held accountable for their ad hominem attacks and hateful rhetoric.

No. That is your interpretation. No one thinks America is evil, but both sides think certain Americans are evil.

Lol, you clearly aren't paying attention, which you seem to readily admit, and yet you still have such strongly moderate opinions. It's the Burden of the Squish you suffer.
