National Priority: Avert The Impending Civil Unrest

 

By T.S. Khanna, January 23, 2023,


 

Over the past few decades, extremists in each political party have grown in number and strength, minimizing chances of compromise on various issues.  Extremists are the ones who took extreme positions in their campaigns, inciting their voters against losing their rights in compromises.  The “copy-cat” effect accelerated the extremism in both parties.

 

Now both parties seem to have taken uncompromising stance on various sensitive issues.  This attitude runs counter the Democratic Ideology, based on compromises.  In such situations, public debate only hardens the issues.  Private meetings are more promising.

 

We urge President Biden to appoint a “Compromise Commission” with rational members from both parties who can weigh their differences in light of the national interests.  At this time, the five most sensitive issues seem to be 1. Making next election trustworthy, 2. Border control and handling of illegal immigrants, 3. Budget deficit, and social spending, 4. Arms control for civilians, and 5. Abortion Dispute

 

We believe, compromises on these issues should bring considerable relief in political tension among the American polity.
