In a lot of ways, that's worse. If it were just the politicians, we could vote them out.

We can't vote out the people. The people are angry, at each other, in ways disproportionate to the nuance and compromise. It becomes self-reinforcing.

I'll be blunt that I think some people are more at fault than others. But I don't know how to stop that.

I wish it were just the politicians, or even just the media. Then there would be things that I could do. But when the people hate each other -- and I genuinely believe they do -- I can't think of any options.
