One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.
I don't think that it's the feeedback you are expecting, but there is nothing wrong with partisanship and there is no democratic way to get rid of political bias.
This is an essential feature of politics, not something you should try to erase.
The particular issue that the U.S. is facing is that the people who designed its political system didn't took this in account properly.
You can't even blame them, because the U.S. constitution was still a feat for those early days of your country.
The real issue is probably
that they made the rules to change the constitution way too rigid.
that they are worshiped as people who, despite living in a totally different country in a totally different area, somehow know better how the political system should be designed today than the people who live in it and have 200 years of practical experience with it.
For comparaison, France's first republic was founded in 1789, so just two years after. Our first constitution was super interesting - in fact a world changing event - but also deeply flawed. We currently are on the fifth constitution since 1958 and we have revised it 24 times.
For comparaison, Germany's constitution was based after World War II on a constitutional framework that owes a lot to some super smart U.S. constitutional lawyers. So it replicates lots of the things you like in the US constitution (federalism, supreme court, ...) but for some reasons, it doesn't repeat the same mistakes than were made in the original US constitution, and for some reasons it works better in practice. Makes you wonder why?
