Both Cox and Polis also stressed that disagreement, on its own, does not constitute a problem.
In fact, as they noted, America’s Founding Fathers maintained plenty of disagreements. What ultimately matters, however, is the way in which people disagree with one another, especially when discussing politics.
Political disagreements can happen in ways that are healthy and constructive, rather than combative and malicious.
America needs more of this
All things considered, the United States needs more leaders who are willing to advocate for unity and healthy disagreements. Already, there are enough leaders on both sides of the aisle that have fed into anger, division, and otherizing folks with political differences.
“United we stand, divided we fall” very much applies to America today. The ability to hold healthy disagreements with others will not only help US society as a whole. It will also prove valuable to Americans on an individual level.
