To make D.C. more like Dallas, a unity presidential ticket may be the answer in 2024 | Opinion
We don’t have to agree on everything to agree that this scenario is dangerous and would produce more of the same. Chief among the dangers is that effective governing will continue to be impossible. Our most pressing national problems — from immigration to inflation to energy — will continue to go unsolved while each side grows more extreme, more entrenched, and more distrustful of the other.
If the Biden-Trump scenario plays out, and if the public continues to be this unenthusiastic about those choices a year from now, we need another option. We’re joining a national effort to provide an alternative on the presidential ballot in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Such a ticket would feature a credible, experienced Democrat and a credible, experienced Republican as running mates.
We believe this effort, spearheaded by an organization called No Labels, represents the Dallas ethos on a national level. In Dallas, candidates don’t run with a party affiliation. Instead of being elected as Republicans or Democrats, we are elected on the merits of our ideas, our competencies and our commitments to voters. In office, we don’t get points for grandstanding. We get points for solving problems.
Washington should learn from how we do things here. In a democracy, no side can have everything it wants all the time. If it did, the other side would revolt and the country would tear itself apart. We need to redefine political success as problem-solving, which comes from both sides working together and achieving shared victories. If we continue to define it as an absolute victory for our party, we will continue to be frustrated, angry and disillusioned.
