You may be. Individuals can be. But large political organizations can’t really be...and that’s ok. There are differences that just can’t be overcome. Factions may be able to temporarily align around a common interest but, much like the US and the USSR in WW2, outside of that issue they are still in opposite sides and if you try to be one organization, you’ll have a schism.
That’s why there isn’t a viable 3rd party in the US. They end up only really agreeing that they don’t like the 2 parties but not much else. That was the fate of Perot’s “Reform Party“. Once it qualified for Federal money it just became a money grab between factions.
