‘Tribal’ is not a very good word for describing binary phenomena.

What I don’t know of is (what seems to me at least to be) a better term.

I’m open to suggestions - for the points Obdicut and you make, among others (other points and other commenters).

I use it fairly interchangeably with partisan - which also has its strengths and weaknesses. I respect that some others find it problematic - but it still works (generally) best for me. My main concern is that people get the gist of my meaning, and in my experience, the vast majority of people do.
