Politics are people’s ethics and morality applied.

It is perfectly valid to judge people over them, and to shame people because of them. Just like you’d shame someone for littering.

Or even more aptly: just like you’d shame someone for using the N word. It is perfectly legal; it is NOT acceptable.

The problem with a two party system is that it polarizes the grey areas where a lot of people don't have friendship or family ending feelings. When people subscribe whole heartedly to party mindsets they gain friends in that group but wall themselves off from others.
