So what am I about? In a word, commonality. But commonality isn’t the most common of commodities these days. All too often, I find myself forced to talk about what someone else doesn’t agree with rather than find out what we all can agree on.
So here I am, a non-partisan political scientist long exhausted with the run-around of political pandering. Everyday, I find myself studying more about how we’re getting further and further apart politically and less about the ideas and fundamental principles that I know for a fact we could agree on; each a common sense vision and plan for our future that a seemingly silent majority supports.
As I’m entering my 30’s I find that I’m losing that sense of what I originally knew politics to be; a crowded room full of people just looking to share their ideas and eventually solve a problem they all, (every one of them), share.
How did we get here? Who really knows. How do we get past it? Hopefully I can help us find out. For now, I hope you enjoy the blog!
