an angry, bipolar golfer

As much as a few on the right are loath to admit, we live in a society. We are not merely a collection of self-serving individuals.

 As much as a few on the left are loath to admit, our society is made up of a collection of self-serving individuals. 

I believe there is a sweet spot in the middle, where self-determination meets social responsibility. This sweet spot is lost in partisan politics. We are like an angry, bipolar golfer trying to drive a golf ball 300 yards with a warped baseball bat.
