This subthread is a great example of why progress in American politics seems so hard to come by: Every potential policy change seems to devolve into a discussion about what team people are on, and the similarities and differences between all the different teams (to me it's often very reminiscent of Monty Python's Life Of Brian - Peoples' Front of Judea vs Judean People's Front, etc).
