"Focus on Principles, not Outcomes" (Starts at about 14:30 & 22:30)
"There was once a time when politicians were civil to each other. Neighbors and friends who disagreed politically remained neighborly and friendly to each other. Opponents were graceful in defeat and generous in victory. But somewhere along the line, we lost that. These days, it seems that all there is is vitriol and hate. That is what happens when an electorate focuses solely on the outcomes that they want instead of the principles they believe in. What are these principles and why do they matter? Join Antony Davies and James Harrigan as they discuss this and more on this week’s episode of Words and Numbers." People tend to agree with one another more at the level of principles than at the level of outcomes. Find someone who is opposed to you, and find principled common ground. Then be civil.
