re: There is no winning anymore in modern American politics.

The consequence of social media and the proliferation of "information" which in this case should just be called "data."

It is far too easy for people to close themselves off from dissenting points of view and only take in data that confirms their current world view.

I mean look, I'm pretty damn left of center but even I get more than annoyed with current democrats, almost as much as I do republicans.

People need to just chill tf out and learn how to think critically. Politics isn't a religion, it's just a way of trying to improve your lot in life by convincing others that it helps theirs as well. We've totally lost that.
