If we started to cross party lines would things be different?

Question

I wonder why we see things so cut and dry, Democrat v. republican, pro-life v. pro choice, black v. white, old v. young, blue collar v. white collar...and so on.

If we started to be open to view things how the other did or listen to the other side would things be different or are we unwilling to even walk in the others shoes?

Half of the comments are "stupid liberals" or "dumb conservatives" why can't it just be "ignorant humans" because that is what we all are when you think about it.

Answer 1

I understand what you are saying. It would be nice to have a balanced life with everyone willing to view some else's perspective, yes, i think things would be different. Some people, even me, don't feel like they have time to view everything in a different way. We all get caught up in our lives a lot, and it takes away from the peace that was once there. I too would like to have that world, and it may come someday. Hopefully, people will try, and we could make a difference. But fr now, going with the flow is all i can do. I have no control over making people do something, they have to find it themselves.

Answer 2

we have done so for years, and look where it got us.
