Why free elections have 50/50 results?

Why do free elections tend to have 50/50 results?

Which force splits a population into two equal-sized groups?

Why are these two groups more and more torn apart?

IMO: This “bug” of modern society was a feature when the goal of human society was to cover the globe.

When a community grew in size, groups appeared, and people naturally started disagreeing with some others, until one group decided to leave or was pushed out.

This irrational split is why some people decide to move from a place with resources to another one with fewer resources.

One village became two villages in the same way one cell becomes two cells.

This feature allowed human society to cover the globe but is now a bug: no space is left to create a new village somewhere else. The new group has nowhere to go and no choice but to fight the other group.

If this theory is correct, it means whatever a random opinion, 50% will disagree with it, 50% will agree with it.

If you have a platform to amplify your voice, you can build a solid base of supporters just by saying the worst possible shit.

The worse the shit is, the more visibility you'll have by people reacting against it.

When you reach 100% visibility, you'll have 50% of the population agreeing with you.
