    I feel like you have a poor understanding of a lot that you talk about.

    No, I understand pretty well.

    This issue isn’t a east coast vs west coast thing. This is a rural vs urban issue.

    I never said that it was an east vs west thing. I used east vs west as one of a couple of examples. The issue is that the country is catastrophically divided between numerous sides who see their point as being ‘right’. In doing so, they are destroying the lives of EVERYONE by constantly pulling the chain. The country is so large that this constant pulling of the chain is fragmenting every state. No one is getting what they want or what they need. Shit I’ve already said and I’m tired of re-explaining myself.

    Rural vs Urban is a problem, and one that needs to be talked about, but it has no place in response to the comment that I’ve made. Your entire point falls flat when other countries have similar issues but to a far less extreme extent. The push and pull of Urban and Rural isn’t what’s causing your country to invade the foreign democracies of others. It isn’t what’s pushing your country to disavow it’s own citizens so heavily that they literally rot away in prisons, eaten by bed bugs. The push and pull of Urban/Rural isn’t what’s allowing gun rights to run on an extremist route where you have one side saying “Please reduce access to guns so my children don’t die” and the other side then responding with increasing the amount of firearms in/near/around schools. The push and pull of Urban/Rural isn’t what’s having one side say “We welcome Immigration” and the other side installing circular saw blades and nets in rivers to saw immigrants in half or for arresting people who dare to give food/water to immigrants.

    I’m not entertaining your nonsense any further.

      So if you acknowledge that it’s a rural versus urban issue and not a geographic East versus West issue then how does splitting the country up into two or three other countries help?

        I acknowledged that rural/urban was an issue, not the issue. Moreover, I said that East vs West was one of multiple examples I gave. Meaning that North/South/East/West are all a disaster and no one gets along. You know. Like I said.

        Your comment is based on a failed understanding on your part, not an issue of logic on mine.

        Edit: Genuinely can’t stop laughing at you utter fuckwits who somehow can’t understand that there are more directions than east/west and that north/south doesn’t equal rural. But thank you for conclusively proving my point that Americans don’t deserve to have a country lmfao

          This might be because you are not clearly conveying what you mean. You brought up east vs west and north vs south but didn’t really say in what they don’t understand each other. You should consider taking the hostility down a notch.
