If by 'come together' you mean know each other and interact, of course they do. If by 'come together' you mean agree on a cause of action, that is changing rapidly. So far the best two examples are positive initiatives like

http://www.clintonglobalinitiative.org.
The ability to come together for less positive goals is exactly the same as the ability to come together for positive ones.... Take a look at some of the 'fundraising emails' the Koch's sent out last election season

the same sorts of things... this is not a red shirt or blue shirt issue. It's a concentration of power issue and it is very real.
