I want to talk about that bullshit "Bob and Sally" cartoon because I also have thoughts about staying friends with people while disagreeing with them politically. https://twitter.com/ajitgeorgeSB/status/1323310485542895616

I have MANY friends with whom I disagree about one or more of the following:

* municipal trash pickup
* parking minimums
* appropriate housing density
* snow plowing schedules
* school funding models
* speed limits
* bike lane design
* funding for public art
* park priorities

There are A LOT of questions in politics where reasonable people can disagree:

* How do we balance all the competing needs for money, from inspections to permits to filling potholes?

* In what ratio should we tax income, property, purchases? When do we raise $ with fees?

But if you can't look at the Republican party and recognize that they're not answering questions about taxation differently, they're trying to spread a plague and destroy democracy, there's something wrong with you.

"Do the lives of Black people matter?" is not a question we can agree to disagree about.

"Should we count all votes cast?" is not a question we can agree to disagree about.

"Is COVID real, and a problem?" is not a question we can agree to disagree about.

"Fascism: good or bad?" IS NOT A QUESTION WE CAN AGREE TO DISAGREE ABOUT.
