Copious amounts of LSD
a common enemy.
Education reform. The large majority of our population needs to be properly educated for partisan politics to succeed.
Get off social media. Everyone.
It’s all fake, no one is really the caricature they have been made out to be.
It will all be alright.. if we get off social media.
A mutual enemy.
Empathy.
It’s never gonna happen
republicans stop being stupid fascists, and democrats being fucking pussies.
They’re already working together, it just isn’t with our best interests in mind.
Everyone growing the fuck up
New parties to replace them. Ideally multiple real parties.
For the one side not to be fascists?
Common sense?
In all honesty, I think both sides are completely aware of the common ground that exists between them. That common ground is (likely) where the vast majority of citizens would like their government to operate.
There is too much reward for constantly choosing partisanship instead of using the US’s insane wealth and influence to do what will best serve the interests of the community, the country and the world.
When you remove the value in existing just to blockade your opponent’s ideas, then the world might see some actual politics take place.
Also like to add that labelling one side inherently bad (doesn’t matter if they actually are) instantly alienates a whole demographic. These kinds of statements lead to the need to defend a position, and don’t leave room to have discussions that build trust and an empathetic understanding of the “opposing side” over time.
Get rid of the democrats.
More representation outside of the two parties. As long as there are only two political parties, they will continue to move toward opposite extremes.
Cannot have a functioning democracy with only two ‘representing’ political ideologies.
Media. Republicans are objectively abhorrent, but Murdoch media runs countless pro-Republican and anti-Democrat stories to tens of millions of viewers. I can’t see any improvements until media is held to account for the lies and miss-truths they spread, and go on to be less partial.
All the Republicans dropping dead suddenly would really go a long way to healing that divide.
Replace almost all of the leadership of both who are too busy jockeying for power.
A common enemy at this point.
There is an antagonistic contradiction between the two; therefore, for the contradiction to be solved, the contradiction must manifest itself in the form of conflict, and then the conflict must solve itself through struggle.
one of the two sides to change their political and social views
We all sit down and watch ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’
Or ‘Arrival’
Honestly probably a major tragedy that forces both sides to co-exist. But it probably wouldn’t last.
A common evil where everyone can agree on something they don’t like
