I recently heard a smart guy say: there is no longer left an right in the political spectrum. The main divide nowadays is between constructive policies, that tries to solve conflicts vs destructive policies, that use hatred and division to get to their perceoved goals (i.e. power and cash)... I liked this differentiation.

Theres a famous account of a dinner between Steve Jobs and Rupert Murdoch, in which Jobs said essentially the same thing: we are not divided by Left/Right, Conservative/ Democrat, we are divided between Constructive and Destructive, and it was clear that Murdoch was on the side of Destructive.

I've been an Unafilliated Independent for my 45+ years of voting, but since reading that, I've described myself as a Constructive Independent.
