I don't understand, do you?

poor georgie’s almanack:

Can you help me?  

I understand this sign.  

What I don’t understand is how the system has divided America into three political tribes, each about the same size.  The one on the left seems to be pretty organized.  It only talks and listens to its shamans and fellow tribe members.  They shout at the tribe on the right.  

The same goes for that tribe on the right, only visa-versa.  Its members shout at the left.

Those of us who like to believe we are in the middle, feel we have no one to listen to, or talk to.  We have no shamans and, for the most part, shun shouting because it is so ugly and unproductive.  

Meanwhile, we are told that as a nation, the three political tribes are equally divided into two camps.  Huh?

I don’t believe the problem is the media, which simply reflect their audiences.  

Putting it another way, the media are vehicles for feeding something deeper in America and many other countries.  They are the vessels that deliver the life blood coming from the heart of the matter.

So, what is the matter with us?  

Can someone explain this to me?
