Yes, thanks to all.
I do see things on a definite upturn.
There's more mutual respect here and there's more of a willingness to see the other side's point of view - even while disagreements are being represented.
This is not a small thing. No matter who is elected, I will continue to be a patriotic citizen and I will, personally, continue to trust the US government. That's my own position - it has already been discussed here.
Yes, the population seems to be more polarized than it has been in decades. However, that can be seen as an indication people are not apathetic and are actually engaging the issues. Ultimately, things that become law will need bipartisan support.
So what I'm doing now is reading the news with a more constructive approach and checking out the Democratic Convention, looking for points of agreement and good will.
That's my ongoing contribution to this spirit of good citizens working together rather than being torn assunder into the future. You may choose not to go so far down the path to conciliation, however, the first few steps beyond where we were are essential.
