People who are far left, progressives, or far right, ultra-conservatives, are extremely biased and married to their ideology. They are virtually incapable of crossing over on a vote. But there are a lot of people who are center-right and center-left who aren't ideologues. For instance, it's estimated that somewhere between 7 and 9 million people who voted for Obama voted for Trump. In most elections, these swing voters are the voters who decide the outcome.
The bottom line is, people see things differently. We see proof of this, not only in politics but in everyday life. You can find disagreement on just about everything.
