> It's all about intention. You can work to be more reasonable if you choose to. You can teach people to be more reasonable. Its a skill, a quality that everyone healthy can choose to practice or not.

This applies to people on the left and the right. Choosing not to compromise on anything is as aspect of someone's personality which is independent of their political beliefs. You cannot unequivocally state that this mentality only applies to people on the right.

It's mostly because America has a two party system that you get a massive amount of political spectrum concentrated under the categories of "Democrat" and "Republican"

Go abroad and look at how many parties other countries have in politics:

Canada: Liberal, Conservative, NDP, Green, Bloc Québécois

UK: Conservative, Labour, LibDem, SNP, DUP, Green

France: En Marche!, National Front, Republicans, La France Insoumise, Socialist Party, ...

Germany: CDU/CSU, SPD, Die Linke, Green, FDP, AfD
