Zu diesen Debatten gehören auch immer jene, die sie weitertreiben, anspitzen und bewirtschaften. Vermutlich muss man neben der Politik auch mediale Akteure in Haftung nehmen, die an diesem Diskursgeklingel mehr Interesse haben als an sachbezogener Politik.

We have once again updated our encyclopedia of polarisation and I will take it as an opportunity to introduce some of the features again.
On ❄️ polarization.wiki you can find descriptions, formulas, data and applications of the most common measurements of political polarization.

Exhibit 2537 that it's ludicrous to make policy based on reading poll marginals as will of the people. Love the fact that respondents want more spending on almost everything but not tax enforcement, which, however, you need to secure the necessary funds in the first place.
The average American voter thinks that the government is too big but that it should spend more money on everything it does. This explains a decent share of the political chaos of this country.
Incredible chart
