American Political Discourse Sucks

1. Explore the "Why" behind policies you hate.

2. Understand the "Why" behind the policies you advocate. 

3. Revel in amazement when both "Whys" relate!

"All human beings are 99.9 percent identical in their genetic makeup."

At least that's what they tell us. So we should be on the same page regarding most things that relate to being human, right? Wake up people!!

"We can agree more than we disagree, if we seek to understand"

That is our premise and purpose, the whole point of this site - to prove this to all of our fellow Americans who need a more 'politic' place to debate.

BTW - Our favored definition of Politic is below and  definitely does not fit most perceptions of politicS.

THREE AREAS TO BUILD PERSPECTIVE

VALUES

 Individual liberties, healthcare equity, self defense... all are undergirded by assumptions about human rights and worth. We need to understand how our deep beliefs influence our daily politics.

METHODS

Policy tools available and when are they most effective. 

What likely downside does each policy tool introduce?

What options can be eliminated because they violate national values?

POLICY

Laws and regulations that best match citizens' values and the methods suited to serve humanity well in the present circumstance. 

POLITIC

ADJECTIVE 1 (of an action) seeming sensible and judicious in the circumstances. (https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/politic)
