Fine stuff... Understand -- a better politics isnt one where Democrats abandon their agenda or Republicans simply embrace mine. A better politics is one where we appeal to each others basic decency instead of our basest fears. A better politics is one where we debate without demonizing each other; where we talk issues, and values, and principles, and facts, rather than gotcha moments, or trivial gaffes, or fake controversies that have nothing to do with peoples daily lives. A better politics is one where we spend less time drowning in dark money for ads that pull us into the gutter, and spend more time lifting young people up, with a sense of purpose and possibility, and asking them to join in the great mission of building America. If were going to have arguments, lets have arguments -- but lets make them debates worthy of this body and worthy of this country. #SOTU
