we all want.

At least 80% of Americans (removing the 10% of extremists on each side) would all agree.

We all want fewer abortions.
We all want more wonder.
We all want no mass shootings, especially no school shootings.
We all want the rich to pay taxes, just like everyone else.
We all want more happiness.
We all want more money in our pocket which means either lower costs for items, or higher wages, or both.
We all want less crime.
We all want great healthcare.
We all want to have less homelessness in our cities.
We all want community.
We all want great roads and bridges that don’t fall apart and police and fire departments that protect us.
We all want our planet to be able to support life.
We all want everyone to be able to love who they love.
We all want kids to be very careful about gender transition surgeries.
We all want to feel safe.
We all want our taxes to be spent efficiently.
We all want a government that protects us (from external enemies to corporate greed and everything in-between.)
We all want a government that doesn’t go bankrupt.
We all want healthy immigration.
We all want all people to have all of these things no matter their race, religion, or creed. (I hope.)

We all don’t agree on who can get us what we want.
We all don’t agree on how to get what we want.

But, having discussions about how to do the things we all agree on will be infinitely more productive than who we did or did not vote for.

How do you think we can get fewer abortions? How do you think we can have less mass shootings? How do you think we can make sure that the ultra-rich pay the same amount of tax as me? Not how does the person you voted for think but how do you think?

Those are the “how” questions that are so much better than “how the hell did you vote for Trump”? (Remember this Ryan.)
