American’s democracy seems to be teetering on the brink of a cri

Because Mars English’s post mentioned Obama's new book A Promised Land , I watched the “60 minutes” lastest interview on the 44th Amercan president. I am not his fan, but I agreed with his perspective on American’s democracy seems to be teetering on the brink of a crisis:

“ it's not just the politicians now. The voters are divided. It has now become a contest where issues, facts, policies per se don't matter as much as identity and wanting to beat the other guy. “

I feel the same thing is happening in Taiwan, either you are green or blue. No between.

I expressed my thoughts at dinner with my husband. He laughed at me thinking my opinion was a  woman's opinion:(

What's your thoughts? In case you are interested, I am posting the “60 minutes “ interview below. Thank you for reading. Until next time.
