I have actually watched this earlier, and without getting into a debate :P it really speaks to both sides I feel and a good message.

The alienating is occurring on both sides (And not only in the US, but most places with two parties/groups of parties). No one is willing to discuss and make compromises anymore. A big part of a modern democracy is different parties getting together and putting forth a lot of different ideas and then pick the best idea for as many people as possible.
Side note: Why do Americans, the most proud to be liberal people on the planet, use "Liberal" to degrade people?

Remember its the most vocal that makes everyone look bad, not pointing that to either one side, thats just the case with everything in this world :)

Here in the States, "liberal" and "conservative" are both used as insults and boasts. Neither of the terms are much used in relation to their actual meanings anymore, rather the terms are used colloquially to refer to the partisan political parties.
(Disclaimer: I do not intend the following as insults, but they easily will be taken as insults, especially given the topic.) The "liberals" here are less interested in liberty and more interested in equality. They tend to be more liberal with gov't spending on social projects. The "conservatives" are less interested in conservation and more interested in tradition, politically and often religiously. They tend to be more conservative with gov't intrusion into the economy (which, historically anyway, is a liberal tradition).
Often, our colloquialisms make it very confusing when trying to communicate with people in other countries. I imagine, from the outside looking in, it must make it rather difficult to understand what we Americans are going on about when we bicker internally, especially since we have a tendency to bicker very loudly.

That way, this thread can get back to what it does best:
