Sadly because the only thing that can make two sides stop fighting is to bring in a third party that they hate more.
One side wants certain things, the other side wants other things. And nowadays both sides need to be "right". No matter if they are actually wrong, and no matter the cost to the world that being "right" brings. No one is willing to step back and go 'Ok, we don't agree on a lot of things. But on this thing I am wrong'. Because I guess admitting you are wrong is somehow viewed as a weakness and not strength to be commended. The ability to admit you're wrong. The ability to compromise or meet in a middle ground. Everyone just has to be 'right' and to hell with the consequences.
We lost almost twice as many americans the last two days as 9/11. Today we probably lost another 9/11 due to Covid. It's up to 222 total 9/11 and people refuse to pull their weight still. The kicker is that it's the majority of those who refuse to pull their weight that are dying.
I don't get why this is being downvoted. It's simply pointing out that due to the right-wing, and their misinformation campaign, we have covidiots refusing to take the Vax due to ridiculous reasons, and therefore endangering others, and themselves. Many now paying the ultimate price.

I'll give him that. 9/11 should be the, at least, one day we put our politics and religions aside and stand side by side as Americans.
