Eh, in my opinion the left needs to stay out of certain things such as obesity. If people get fat, they get fat. Removing/Changing food isn't going to help anyone. Not to mention the lefts support of GMOs. Not to say the rights complaints about guns rights, and how they deal with endangered species and the environment with little care is much better. Anyway, in my opinion they're both equally hurting the country. I'm actually surprised it took as long as it did division to occur. The fact is both the left and the right is using the polarization of the people to their advantage. After all, people are adopting the mindset "if you don't agree with me you must be racist or if you don't agree with me you must be a liberal anarchist". While, the politicians obviously won't admit it the truth should be obvious, they use division to their advantage. The fact is if they wanted to stop division they could do it by showing cooperation with the other party. Division is a weapon both the right and left use and it's a terrible thing that tears apart families, and rips apart friendships along with people's jobs(the jobs part is supposed to be protected under the Constitution but at a time where division is high that law isn't followed).
