“When it comes to perceived political and ethnic conflicts, no public is more divided than Americans: 90% say there are conflicts between people who support different political parties and 71% say the same when it comes to ethnic and racial groups. (Results of a different question asking specifically about conflicts between Democrats and Republicans also found that 71% of Americans think conflicts between the party coalitions are very strong and another 20% say they are somewhat strong. The sense of conflicts between Democrats and Republicans also increased between 2012 and 2020.)”

Wide majorities in most countries surveyed say having people of many different backgrounds improves their society, but most also see conflicts between partisan, racial and ethnic groups.

People in Advanced Economies Say Their Society Is More Divided Than Before Pandemic

Publics disagree about whether restrictions on public activity, such as stay-at-home orders or mandates to wear masks in public, have gone far enough to combat COVID-19.

Well there you go. We're very divided compared to the countries listed. We were very divided before covid. We're even more divided now.

To you. If you have some data to present, go for it. Otherwise I’ll go with them.

I have no idea what the white supremacist comment was all about.

Then why would you stay here? You're not needed or wanted. Go be happy in Switzerland.

You already said that. It wasn’t original or clever the first time either.

Also, I like it here. Pointing out things that I perceive as flaws doesn’t mean I want to start somewhere else completely fresh.

Grow up. I can be critical without needing to leave.

Where does it say that?

where did I say it did??

I said it acts like we arent,,, and then says diverse countries are not as divided,,,

“the article implies we are not,,,”

I don’t see where it says or implies that we aren’t a diverse country…

It seems to me that we've abandoned leadership and consensus as political goals. There's no sense that we're one nation. Fear-mongering partisans have demonized their opponents so successfully that each side is consumed with fear and paranoia. In that state of mind, people will believe anything, do anything, to "fight" the other side.

Our elections are no longer about electing leaders. They've become proxy civil wars, between the Democrats and Republicans, regularly scheduled power struggles over government that has become too powerful.

I don't see it changing until we change the voting system to strip the partisans of the key source of their power - the lesser of two evils con game. Ranked choice voting does that, and I think it would, in time, un-divide us. But it may be too late.
