Politicizing

Context

Increasing the awareness and skill of people in the political processes of a social situation especially to the point of controlling it.

Claim

Politicizing critical issues undermines democracy and erodes public trust. When vital topics like healthcare, climate change, and education become battlegrounds for partisan agendas, the focus shifts from solutions to scoring political points. This divisive approach stifles meaningful dialogue and hinders progress, leaving citizens disillusioned and marginalized. We must prioritize collaboration over conflict, ensuring that policies serve the common good rather than political interests. The future of our society depends on transcending partisanship for the greater good.
