The problem is, that tolerance for disagreement on social issues is gone.

Yes, on BOTH sides. SoCons insist on pushing their priorities on the party — and the party moderates insist on pushing the SoCons out of the party.

Isn’t Israeli politics so much tidier, where everyone can belong to a party that exactly matches their laundry list of priorities and positions, and no one has to accommodate or compromise with anyone who thinks differently on any single issue?
