He wants the parties to begin to cooperate with one another, and called polarization between the parties, a choice. “If we can decide not to cooperate, then we can decide to cooperate. They want us to cooperate in their interest, and that’s the choice I’ll make,” he said. “We are always looking ahead, ahead to an America that’s freer and most just. Ahead to an America that creates jobs with dignity and respect. Ahead to an America that cures disease like cancer and Alzheimers. Ahead to an America that never leaves anyone behind. Ahead to an America that never gives up, ever gives in.”
