I think we can do better than accept what might be the way in which political discussions are often conventionally framed - here or elsewhere.
What I mean by trust on a basic human level means that it will mean something different to you than it does to me. I suppose we could discuss the nature of trust but I don't think that's necessary. For me, to trust in something means that I have looked at it in my way and decided that it is for the most part - even overwhelmingly - good, decent, honorable, and trustworthy. These aren't complex or academic words. They can be discussed that way, I suppose. But I prefer ones which most of us are conversant with.
As for the type of threads I post. They are for the most part within some limits intended to move things toward what might be described as constructive dialog or less partisan than what is usually considered partisan.
You can scour my threads here from the beginning. You will find a movement away from a certain type of partisanship. You will not find the sort of attacks on the opposition that one finds in typical partisan posts. My views are personal.
I'll kick up a couple of the threads I started here that were specifically addressing my sense of what is constructive in political threadmaking.
I'm looking for some alternative ways to discuss politics. We do hear an awful lot from good people who describe the situation here in this particular forum as not constructive or interesting. I'd like to do something about that.
