We CAN Agree to Disagree
Particularly when it comes to our allies.
Since this is an election year it is very hard to not talk about politics. One of the uglier parts of this, however, is when those more-or-less on the same side become combative.
I am not going to get into a whole diatribe about the current crop of presidential candidates, and since I live in a state that doesn’t have a primary until June there is little to nothing I can do but watch. Which, frankly, I am not doing — because there is no point in getting upset/frustrated/invested in something I have ZERO control over.
I know which candidates I prefer, and hope that I still get a real choice in the process come June.
Until then, let’s talk about a bigger issue. Fighting amongst ourselves.
Look, there is never going to be ONE PERFECT CANDIDATE. You might find someone who represents more-or-less what YOU want, but others may disagree for any number of reasons. It’s good and healthy to debate and have discussion (sans rancor) of the good/bad/ugly positives and negatives of each candidate.
But it’s important to stay civil. You really should be mindful of agreeing to disagree. Why? Because when the convention occurs and there is just the one nominee standing against Trump we need to come together in support of whoever takes him on.
