I wish the issue is as simple as what the title suggests. Just read both sides, our political divide can be bridged. Well, what if the two sides don't agree on the facts. It may be a good idea to have centralists on policies, but the notion of centralists hardly applies to facts. It may be possible to have compromises on policies only when both sides at least assume good faith of the other. In today's American politics, I don't see an easy solution to agree on facts or good faith. It is sad.
