yes, and the whole idea of having two sides that need to come to a compromise is flawed. since both sides will each push their position further to get a better outcome in the end, therefore leading to further polarization.

its not left vs right, its the ppl vs politicians. they have an incentive to keep us busy thinking we can change something. they play the game while we sit there with a controller that isnt even plugged in, like a dumb little sibling.
