For two years our government and its unelected bureaucracy has been telling us that Russia "sowed seeds of discord" on Facebook and in other media. The SCOTUS nomination hearings over the last couple of weeks made it clear to me that both sides of our 2-party run government and their media partners are the real experts at dividing the American people. Any tiny bit of noise coming from outside governments does not have close to the effect that our own 2-party political system has in tearing us apart.
I personally believe that Americans agree on more than they disagree on. The fact that more of us are Independants than registered as Democrat or Republican proves that. But saying this does not get candidates their campaign contributions or Cable News the ratings they need.
I don't know what it will take to get a viable third party or parties going in this country. I wish someone had an answer.
