Too much of our national debate these days are hyper critical of “the other side”. The negative debate that happens every day, non-stop, in the news and the partisan attacks on anyone that ‘doesn’t think like me’ has a corrosive effect on rational thinking. It reinforces the divisive battle lines that drive a wedge between our ability to debate and compromise which have forever been fundamental keys to our Constitution and our form of government. So, don’t tell me what’s wrong with the other side’s talking points, tell me what you stand for.
