Elliot Schneiderman | Other Voices In response to George Rebane’s column published April 3, “Farewell to unity in America”: I agree that an examination of the kind of world we want to achieve in common is a good starting point for addressing the polarization that appears to pervade American politics. But I disagree with his conclusion. Far from “farewell to unity,” George Rebane actually reveals a path to unity in America! How so? I am a “neighbor of the left” Democrat. In reading the first half of George’s op-ed, I assumed he was, too, because for the most part I share his stated world view. I believe that most left-leaning Americans do, as well, just as George believes that most right-leaning Americans do.
