Start by asking:
What are the points of conflict that are prohibiting agreement?
Group the related points of conflict... identify the topic of each group
Identify the range of variation within each group...
Now look for a common characteristic/ concept amongst the 'topics'
They all have to do with______________.
Now look for similarities & trends amongst the ranges of variation .....
• Quantity of variants in each range
• Degree of range variations
• gender / age / geographic trends
Infighting/conflict points are the surface cracks we can 'see'
Identifying the locations (topics) and degree (range of variation) of damage in each helps identify any unique independent variables specific to that topic
Tracing the areas of damage back to their source(s)
provides the opportunity to address the origin of the obstacles preventing agreement
Now comes the tricky part....
You have to prescribe 2 separate remedies
One for the surface cracks /damage
And one for the primary source of the obstacle/growth
They Will be different....
One will be FEDERAL --
The other STATE/LOCAL
And the specifics of the STATE/LOCAL remedies prescribed will differ due to unique variables....
Hypothetically,
If your topics can all basically be boiled down to protection of each individual's inalienable right to life liberty pursuit of happiness
Then that is the Federal Campaign platform
With the understanding that each State/Local Election has its own unique issues & potential for variation from current position on those issues...
Not every state has same issues
And even amongst those who do...each state's current point on the 'progress' spectrum can only be pushed forward by a reasonable increment ....
The idea is that Fed Gov policy represents ultimate goals/objectives
Local/state gov policies represent where they are individually and campaigns reflect the appropriate next step for that particular gov body as they move toward the ultimate goal/objectives.
