Why is it important to get beyond politics?

There are many reasons why it's important to get beyond politics. First, political polarization is a major obstacle to progress. When people are divided along political lines, it's difficult to find common ground and work together to solve problems. This can lead to gridlock and inaction, which can have a negative impact on our communities and our country.

Second, political polarization can damage relationships. When people disagree about politics, they often become angry and defensive. This can lead to arguments and even estrangement. Political polarization can also make it difficult to have productive conversations about other topics.

Third, political polarization can be a source of stress. When people are constantly exposed to political news and commentary, it can be difficult to relax and de-stress. This can lead to anxiety, depression, and other health problems.

How to get beyond politics

Getting beyond politics is not easy, but it is possible. Here are a few tips:

Make an effort to understand the other side's perspective.
Identify common ground and shared goals.
Focus on the work that needs to be done, not on the politics.
Be respectful of others, even if you disagree with them.
Take breaks from politics.

Getting beyond politics is not about abandoning your beliefs. It's about finding ways to work together with people who have different views. When we can do that, we can achieve great things.
