“first past the post” voting always devolves to a two party system. The founding fathers knew this and warned against it. Until we get ranked choice, or something similar, we’re stuck.
Where tribalism is normal? That’s literally everywhere. Do you have a favorite sports team? I don’t. Do you have a religion that you think is right? Not me.
I’m a member of groups, of course, but I feel no urge that these groups are somehow better or more than others.
Now, is it genetic or learned? Who knows. I was just replying to the guy who said it was a gene. I guarantee no research shows that’s a thing.

Two, talking about biological things isn’t appropriate in some settings. I don’t want to hear about your colonoscopy. I don’t want to hear that you’re raw dogging your wife. I don’t want to hear about you surgery. Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
I know there are a lot of fad diets and then there is calorie counting as a more science based approach. I myself do calorie counting and follow a strict diet in order to avoid overeating. How do you eat all day, you follow a system?
