Why are we so politically polarized? Discuss.

I have a little different take but I think we are coming from the same place. A lot of the contention is that people feel they are not being heard that their vote doesn't count.. My solution to that is proportional voting like they do in Nebraska and Maine. In my state in 2024 Democrats should just stay home their vote doesn't count with winner take all. California is a better example there are more republicans in Cali than maybe any other state, but in 2024 because of winner take all they will be ignored.

The other thing I'd do is go back to 1788 were everyone ran as president and 1st place was the pres and 2nd place becomes the VP. So in 2016 Trump would have been president and Hillary the VP.. You could sell tickets to that.. But seriously it would help keep both grounded..

Rank choice and open primaries.

Giving people whose first guy didn't make it a voice still is empowering.
