America will remain divided. The divide separating liberals and conservatives is too wide. I am conservative on most issues, and I am in the minority on this political board, based on my experiences I don't see any possibility for common ground.

I may be in the 10% - 15% you reference. For example I see no compromise in gun ownership. I can agree with waiting periods, background checks, registration, even some restrictions on certain types of firearms, however, my right to own a gun is guaranteed in the Constitution, in my opinion. Perhaps the 10% - 15% on the other-side of the issue or those in the middle need to compromise.
