In an interview with NBC News on Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris lamented America’s divisive politics, arguing that her desire to ‘turn the page’ is really about “closing the page” — whatever that means — on “an era that suggests Americans are divided.”  It’s true that Americans are divided.  Figures in both major political parties and across the political spectrum bear some responsibility for that reality, including both her and her opponent.  Part of the polarization and acrimony is stoked and fueled for cynical purposes.  But a lot of it is simply a reflection of profound differences on policies and values.  Voters have divergent views on what they want the country to look like, what sort of leaders they want to wield power, and what our priorities should be.  Part of the genius of our founding is that America’s system of government was designed to push many important decisions on such matters down to the state and local level, allowing people to shape their communities in alignment with their values.  This allows those disaffected by what’s happening around them to either seek and make change close to home, or have an option to resettle in a community that may be a better fit.
