Yes, but im familiar with the divisions of the two countries and for me the argentinian division is 10x worst than the american one, in america democrats and republicans both have the same work ethic and aproach to life, they just differ in things like guns, healthcare, drugs and those things.

Here in Argentina literally the two visions of half of the population are 100% opposite even in things like work ethic and how to progress in life. One side wants to do drugs, steal and free recieve money from the state without working and the other wants to study an progress.

That’s interesting. I don’t know anything about Argentinian politics or society, and my understanding of American politics comes solely through international media(not very reliable). I was just referencing an example to explain my point. I could have said country A and country B. My point was just that the measuring of polarisation is very poor and the alternatives are not complicated and are well known. I really don’t understand why they decided to measure it by asking a single question.
