Good question.
From a purely left and optimistic point of view, I would say that both left and right want the same things at its core, that is "everyone should be free to live their life how they see fit so long as it doesn't negatively affect others."
If this is true, then maybe the left and right have different approaches to this. For example, Guns. Lefties want fewer guns so less people die. Righties want more guns, because, freedom to own guns.
The issue is more complicated than this though because again from the point of view on the left, righties appear brainwashed. Of course the same is true of the left from a righties point of view.
What I would love to do one day is sit down face to face with a righties (Hi Robbie!) and make a point-by-point list on paper, of everything that we both value, and that we both agree should be valued. I bet that in the end we both value exactly the same things, like:
- Clean Air? Check.
- Clean Water? Check.
- Canadian Triangle player jamming in Vegas with Rockstar Robbie one day? Check...
