Thread: So, where do we go from here?

We have had I don't know how many politically orientated threads the last so many years and invariably they deteriorate into the usual partisan cat fight which reflects the sad state of affairs in this country. (Many others too).

Lincoln made some famous remarks about a divided house and I believe the degree of devisiveness is very close to the situation he found himself in.

So it's the new year and a new administration and if this country is truly The United States men of good faith and will, will need to come to the fore to try and undo the damage.

Let those men appear here first. Gentlemen, I want solutions and the very notion of Partisan is a dirty word in this thread.

We can start small.

My 2 cents to start is everyone should endeavor to spend a certain percentage of the time exploring the policies of the "other side". Read their blogs, listen to their mouthpieces, watch their news shows. Maybe we might come to realize we all want the same things and understand our differences better. Secondly we should all use our ability for critical thinking so we know if we are being conned or lied to and why this is happening and be big enough to admit we just might be a little wrong.

Suggestions?

This isn't limited to the U.S. If you have similar issues in your country discuss those too.
