You've got to look behind the partisanship and see who's pulling the strings. The truly evil story is what the fossil fuel industry is doing. They've taken power centers of the Republican Party and grabbed them all. And if they pull their support from a Republican candidate, that's a very serious threat.

Quote examples
Neil deGrasse Tyson
American Scientist
The partisanship surrounding space exploration and the retrenching of U.S. space policy are part of a more general trend: the decline of science in the United States. As its interest in science wanes, the country loses ground to the rest of the industrialized world in every measure of technological proficiency.
Quote examples
Stephen Vincent Benet
American Poet
It is hard to put aside partisanship. It is hard to give up the easy wisecracking jeer that divides and destroys. It is hard - very hard - to have worked sincerely and wholeheartedly for a cause and to have lost. Most of all, it is hard to put aside personal prejudices. And yet we must put these things aside.
Quote examples
Katie Hill
American Politician
What is important to me is that I'm not accountable to and not controlled by party leadership. At the end of the day, I'm able to make my own decisions according to what's best for the community and the constituents I represent. It doesn't depend on what the partisanship is to the right or to the left.
Quote examples
Evgeny Morozov
Belarusian Writer
We've never thought too deeply about the roles things like forgetting or partisanship or inefficiency or ambiguity or hypocrisy play in our political or social life. It's been impossible to get rid of them, so we took them for granted, and we kind of thought, naively, that they're always the enemy.
Quote examples
Tom Malinowski
Over the years, increasing partisanship has led many members of Congress reflexively to speak in favor of any military action launched by presidents of their own party while withholding support to presidents of the opposing party.
Quote examples
Walter Isaacson
American Writer
I think right now we need to look back at the founding values of our country. Rise above partisanship, be less bitter when it comes to important matters that have to be solved.
Quote examples
Charlie Baker
American Politician
Our obligation to the people we serve is too important to place politics and partisanship before progress and results.

American Politician
The cause of peace is too great for us to allow political disagreements or partisanship to stand in our way.
