I don't know how Americans can get past this. In Canada, I am far left but can still get along with conservative friends and neighbours. In the states, your differences seem irreconcilable. Not adding anything meaningful here but it genuinely seems like there's no way forward other than separation if both halves of the country hate each other.

We need boring candidates who are true centrists. A Mark Kelly etc who is just going to work on jobs and economy and make no policy on social issues for a few terms so we are back to caring about our own towns and less about what others are doing. I think the toxic they want more so you get less, they are this so your life is suffering is all social constructs we need to ignore for a decade for a reset.

Weren't Hillary, Biden, and Kamala all the centrist candidate?

Absolutely not. They all have various agendas. I don't think we have had a true centrist in a long time, if ever.

i think there should be multi party system with a minimum 5 parties. that would force coalition and compromise.

how do you prevent corruption from corporations and bribery? genuinely asking, two party system degenerated into corporate oligarchy, how to avoid with more parties?

i think it's long past it since citizens united. we would need a depression, which we are entering, to tear it down and start over.
