“Gridlock is best understood not as governmental failure but as a policy failure, indicating that neither party has been able to come up with an idea attractive enough to the other party's voters to enable its implementation.”

“Some of us end up doing a lot of good things, but we never get around to doing the best thing. Because when you get sucked into the tyranny of the urgent (what a great phrase, by the way), you put off what’s really important. When you say yes to everything, you say yes to nothing. The work the Father gave you to do gets put on the back burner, at the bottom of the to-do pile. This is a tragedy because you’re robbing the world of your much-needed contribution.”
― John Mark Comer, Garden City: Work, Rest, and the Art of Being Human.

“But partisans aren’t bad people perverting the political system through irrationality and self-interest. They’re normal people—you and me—reflecting the deep differences that define political systems the world over. And the more different the parties are, the more rational partisanship becomes. What has happened to American politics in recent decades is that the parties have become visibly, undeniably more different, and the country has rationally become more partisan in response.”
― Ezra Klein, Why We're Polarized
