Which one? I've seen this argument argued to hell and back by people on both sides, and I feel that it misses a bit of nuance.

My view is that both parties view this polarization as a tool, but they polarize in very different ways, for very different issues.

Mind you, by saying this, I am not equating their behaviour. I have very little patience for two-sideism.

I often say both parties are similar though not symetrical.
