ugh, I hate this left vs right us vs them mentality in politics. I both like and dislike people and ideas on both sides and simply don't understand why some people think everything one side is good and everything on the other is evil. I know it's present outside the US too, but it definitely seems so much more pronounced there.

Really got to wonder if there's an opportunity there though. For a new political party to come along and distance themselves from both extremes. Firstly could they pull enough people away from the traditional parties to actually make an impact, and secondly could a potential third way and more compromise between left and right rather than playing them against each other help to unite people again?

Clinging to parties is part of the problem itself. Be an independent mind and think for yourself, be critical of your peers and actually engage with those who disagree with you. In terms of politics, the democratic party are not a representation of the extreme political left.
