He worked hard to make sure that political differences were addressed through dialogue, not hate and bitterness. On several occasions, he wrote letters to his Cabinet members to stop their in-fighting and quell their party spirit. Washington told Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, “How unfortunate, and how much is it to be regretted then . . . that internal dissensions should be harrowing and tearing our vitals.” The president wished Jefferson and others to have “more charity” for other opinions and a sense of their own fallibility. He dressed down Alexander Hamilton, telling the Secretary of the Treasury that “differences in political opinions” are expected but should not lead to so much discord.

had enough?
who do you trust?
- trump & friends?
- pelosi & friends?
- the republican and democratic parties that are financed by billionaire corporations and billionaire PACs that supply us with the candidates for public office?

- biased news media?
to fix our dysfunctional government is simple and easy--stop voting for republican and democratic party candidates, including incumbents.
voting for a republican or a democrat is a vote for their party.

in the next election--national, state or local--don't vote republicans or democrats who have the wrong stuff. vote for someone who has the right stuff. even with their billion dollar donors, if voters don't vote for republicans and democrats, then the republican and democratic parties will shrivel up and die.
nothing will be better for our country.
the same goes for the news media--stop patronizing biased news media that lobby for the republican and democratic parties instead of reporting the news factually and truthfully. they'll go out of business. nothing will be better for the USA.
