Looking for common ground to bring us all together to win the 2020 election, the most important election as we shall see in a lifetime.

This essay is about what values liberals and progressives share…and thus could use as a uniting facto to pull our duelling factions together so we can have a big conservative-crushing election.

We need to run those vermin out of town on a rail. And THEN we can talk about where we differ without beating each other over the head with the words we’ve been shouting at each other way too long.

So many times we’ve had liberals and progressives fighting about which ideology or perspective is better: liberal or progressive; and which has the better answers for solving problems…always thinking about what makes us different. I decided to write a piece on the common ground we all hold.

Now, if anyone strongly believes that one or the other of my points doesn’t fit one or the other category, let me know. If I agree with you, I will revise. However, you may also want to put a comment down to explain how your group differs from the other, or anything you think I’ve missed about what we share. Together we can create a document that can serve us all as we try to work together with what we hope will be the Biden Administration.

From my point of view, liberalism
