    Unfortunately it’s extremely geographic. We’re pretty singular, but which “single thing” you get varies tremendously depending on where you are.

    If you live in San Fran, “everyone” is a certain way. If you live in the rural heartland, “everyone” is the opposite.

    On top of that, the number of people that can and are willing to speak the language of both sides is vanishingly small, due to the rhetoric and style of one side being extremely distasteful to the other.

    I think ranked choice voting is probably our best, most realistic shot forward, by reducing the importance of the hard liners in the primaries.
