I remember pretty clearly when it was the other way around. I'm sure there will be a point again where I find people on the left easier to talk to.

Same.  I'm not even that conservative, policywise.  I'm not sure I can explain how things got to be this way, but it just feels like the left views every disagreement as "conservative talking points".  I wonder if it's the liberal media's endless, repetitive use of the *Republicans pounce* narrative whenever conservatives actually have a point about something.

That's my feeling too, but there are a lot of disaffected leftists. Maybe some will be open to some team ups.

I have always been surprised at how difficult it is to work with the left, because good progressives agree with me on the biggest issues: war, corporate subsidies, mass incarceration, etc. However, I find often find it easier to talk to conservatives who disagree with me on almost everything.
