Say a positive thing about the other political side.

I often see too much political division on here. I fear it will lead no where positive. People always seem to hate people with whom they disagree. So I thought maybe we could try and say something genuinely positive / something we respect about the people with whom we disagree.

I'll start - and since I'm not firm on either side of the partylines, I'll for both sides:

I respect that the Democrats were bold enough to bring forward candidates of either gender and of colour. I also respect them for taking upon them the responsibility of leading during the second world war.

I respect the Republicans for many of their candidates, both elected and non-elected. For example Goldwater for being a decent human being to his very core, Reagan for some of the best speeches ever delivered. And the politician I currently often disagree with, I respect Donald Trump for challenging China.

*Please keep it to genuine remarks. If you don't know what that means, please look it up or abstain from answering.

"Witty" remarks about positive things being losing elections or similar will be deleted.

I can only talk for british politics 😅 but the british right wing are a lottt better at focussing on one particular thing. While the left get all tangled up a bit in trying to fix all the problems at once.
Even though I wish it wasn’t how it works, picking one line and one main policy and saying it over and over seems like a way more effective way of getting into government

@adorbz That is definitely true. The Labour manifesto was awesome but so long nobody could remember half of it. I joint led a Labour manifesto reading group for Labour activists and still didn't know it that well.

The Tories manifesto was 'Get Brexit Done.'

It was a lie obviously but the point stands about simplicity.
