The US political race, again

We’re again subjected to an election year of one party trying to out-disparage the other. In the main, both warring camps need to come out in favor of health, education, jobs, and families while hoping they can weasel out of any testy questions about how government can bring those about. If any stands need to be taken, they have to align with campaign funder ideologies. Even in politics, one doesn’t bite feeding hands.

As we continue to model democracy globally to the unititiated, should our lesson be that democracy is about debate (the intention of destroying the other side) or dialogue (the co-creation of an inclusive reality)?
