they really are. Almost everything in the left or right has its mirror in the other side. This is why I think it's so unproductive/harmful when we move further from compromise and closer to a partisan divide - neither side wants to balance the priorities between their interest groups and the other side's, as you would do in a healthy society.

Whereas the Kochs are far more focussed on US domestic politics. Soros has become somewhat more active since 2016, but he's quite upset that it has come so far that his values need defending in the US, and that there are billions wasted in zero-sum political campaigns.
