Macro

The left wants to change the system. The right wants to change individual people. If the left wins, the new system is going to run aground because of people who didn't want to change along with it. If the right wins, reformed people are going to run aground trying to advance themselves through the same old system, which will not have room for all of them.

This is why I taste bile when I see either side getting sanctimonious. The parties sit around blaming each other, and the problem really lies with hordes of Americans who have no coherent political belief system.
