Do you think that United States politics has become a case of "The Blind Men and the Elephant"l?

Of course I am not invoking the Republican mascot here to mean Republican.
It just seems that all the polarization comes of politicians needing to act more like they all have the definitive answer and less like they are trying to come to an agreement about how to solve problems. They seem to have some sort of tunnel vision that precludes compromise.
Is it because people like to hear debates in sound bites? Do we encourage politicians to be this way indirectly by calling those who reevaluate their positions on things and compromise “flip-floppers”?
