There's a single problem with Right vs Left debates: they can't understand the other's point.

1) The Right can't recognize there's a problem with contemporary elites ("They Deserved it"). Poverty is all about the government.

2) The Left can't recognize the government plays a role on this . Inequality is all about greedy rich people.

There's overall a huge problem of lack of nuance in the national conversation in America.

In response to the overwhelming vastness and complexity of this country, debate has degraded into simple truisms yelled at the TV.

Even in immigration - you're either "let everyone in and legalize all the aliens!!!" or "deport everyone and build a wall!"
