Instead of this back and forth between liberals and conservatives sometimes I wish we could run the most extreme A/B test for a year (or a decade) and then just ask people which country they liked better....
But we can’t - so in times like these I remember this MLK quote: “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”
I really wished there was a way to separate economic policy and social policy in our country. I know a lot people on both sides who simply cannot defend their party’s position on one of these fronts.
It’s hard to accept that the fight between the right and left overtime is what creates long term strength and stability in our country. Especially when consider the speed of progress in countries like China.
It’s my core belief though that our system was built for stability over speed and this American tradition of political fighting is what keeps us free (but not always happy).
