The VP candidates were civil. So what?
Mark Sappenfield
Calls for civility can seem vague and at times naive. In the current political climate, civility can be seen as merely nice to have, or even an impediment to progress.聽
Today鈥檚 Daily shows why none of that is true. Cameron Joseph鈥檚 story from Georgia about the distrust of poll workers is poignant and worrisome. A key driver of that loss of faith is incivility.聽
So when the U.S. vice presidential candidates treat each other with civility, as we discuss in an article and the editorial, it is more than a change of pace. It is a path forward. What the world most needs is not our opinions but our higher natures.
