This civic issue blog is meant to dive into some of the biggest political issues of our lifetime. Most of these issues shouldn’t actually be political, but they are being debated simply because the two major political parties refuse to come together. Partisan politics poses a great threat to the nation because it continues to widen the divide between right and left. In this blog, we will explore the effects of partisan politics and the role that it has played in politicizing topics that aren’t political in nature.
