You're right though...I think we're entering a new era of intolerance and refusal of middle ground. If you listen to the recent Canadian election and the ongoing American one, you'll notice the politics are becoming more and more polarized. People can't take the nuanced stance of "well, that person has a point...but they also don't in this other case because...". And this absolutely kills me as I like to sit back and analyze the facts then figure out where to go by making decisions with your head, long after the heart has had time to settle. Yet the world is shifting more to "you're either with me or you're a hater/troll/radical/reactionary/SJW/MRA/etc who is obviously wrong. No questions asked"...a stance I hate. We see more and more that reasonable points get lost in this. Both major sides of (and I guess it's clear I've got friends who yell and scream both sides of this to me) the third wave feminism debate are capable of very good points. Yet they never acknowledge it nor admit fault when they end up on the wrong side of research.
On the contrary. Bernie Sanders is pretty popular right now (although as a college student my perspective might be skewed) and even though he has some leftist views, he has a long history of bipartism. It's one of the reasons why a lot of people I know are voting for him, because he would probably have the ability to get stuff done by working with the republicans and democrats. That's just one candidate, obviously, but ti isn't as black and white as you've made out
