What you're asking for is to sustain the status quo, and that status quo wants us dead.

Are there leagues of liberals uniting with conservatives and solving our common issues?

Would that be the status quo?

More than one way to skin a cat my friend.

Divided, we fall.

No, because they want us dead.

They want us dead. It doesn't get much more divided than that
