Remember when people could disagree in public & still go to lunch?
When compromise wasn’t a betrayal, but a goal?
Now, if you question your party, you're labeled a traitor.
That’s not democracy. That’s indoctrination.
We may have inherited a culture of punishment, but we don’t have to pass it down.

The biggest myth in politics today?
That the middle is where ideas go to die.
The truth is, it’s where they go to survive.
To be tested. To be improved.
Compromise isn’t weakness.
It’s how grown-ups solve problems.
