This is the most simplistic, binary thinking. Coke vs. Pepsi. There is more to the World than "Left vs. Right". Such as economic vs. Social. Authoritarian vs. Libertarian is another sliding scale axis and probably more relevant here.

Just saying there are two sides doesn't make it so. In all the debates there is the right and there is everyone else.

Examples: Gun control: The right, absolutely no controls. Everyone else is a sliding scale of limited access, limited capacity to complete removal.

The right has set themselves apart by not even wanting to negotiate. There is no sliding scale to them. Elected politicians that want to stay elected adhere to Grover Norquist and the Bush Doctrine. What's the sliding scale on that?
