I am currently working on this article. Ethanpak (talk) 00:08, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Evaluation : This article is thoroughly written and descriptive. The sources are credible and there are no bias constructed in this article. As I read through, I don't see anything else to critique.

I am thinking of adding a section about the possible solutions to political polarization, as that is currently missing in the Wikipedia article. Additionally, I also would like to add the current political issues that are most polarizing in our country, for more context and real life application/examples of this polarization. The following is a list of sources I have compiled that I plan on using:

Lead should clarify that the polarization is asymmetric

Multiple studies (some of which are cited in the body) show that the polarization is asymmetric. AFAIK, there is no research disputing that. The content should be in the lead. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 00:31, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

But there is only one sentence on this in an article that contains six sections and 15 subsections of text. Isn't it WP:UNDUE to put it in the lead? 74.67.45.185 (talk) 02:02, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
