True and there is kind of a vicious cycle here where pundits and politicians divide the electorate into warring tribes which makes people less likely to vote for moderate candidates which in turn leads to more divisive rhetoric. One of the three groups has to take the moral high road to put an end to it and the politicians seem the least likely to do it.
