I am one of the “moderate voters” that campaigns are so eager to win over and to have us vote for them. On some issues, I lean conservative, and on others, I lean progressive. I study the issues, read up on the candidates, and vote for those that best represent what I want for our cities, states and for our country.
This is the critical issue that I will be basing my vote on: Show me in detail what you will do to work with, not against, the other party to get laws passed and make life better for the residents of each state and for the United States. I do not want to hear how you will stop what the other party is trying to make happen, or how evil the other party is.
Managers and other leaders in all businesses expect a job to be completed in a timely and efficient manner and expect employees to work together to arrive at a successful and high-quality outcome. As taxpayers, we expect the same of those we elect. Compromise and collaboration have become a rarity when they must be the norm. Stop denigrating each other and get to work.
