Cross the aisle to encourage bipartisanship

Carl Berst

Our politicians in Congress are like squabbling children on a playground. I have a simple solution to solve that problem of not getting along.

Get rid of the concept of “the other side of the aisle.” Seat everyone alphabetically. That would encourage each member — whether Democrat or Republican — to be more apt to discuss opinions more amicably.
