Our understated President spoke in Springfield today.

He asked for civility in our political discussions. And he wasn't just talking about cross-aisle conversation.

He emphasized that he is a Democrat who understands that civility is productive, that incivility is not.

Yup.

that covered things like gerrymandering, how compromise is needed to govern, to being called a Dino and being a progressive. Even though some people here would call that being lectured to.
