Another example why the country will never unite. Politics is everything for the vocal left and right.

It’s not possible to have agreement at the federal government anymore.

States can separate into vocal left and vocal right. Where does that leave independents?

Rather than "vocal" I'd use the word "extreme" here. And the good news is that the majority of people aren't on the extreme left or right. The bad news is that this majority is all too often silent. Because they're afraid of being called mean names by the extremists. Any progress, in my opinion, rests on mobilising this silent majority.

I transitioned to "vocal" when I was on medium because "extreme" would trigger a "micro-agression". I seem to still have gotten enough "complaints" kick me off of Medium.
