So this is a thing that happened and while we don’t usually post political things, principally because we have pledged our allegiance to our pending A.I. robot overlords. We thought this was interesting because it seems everybody hates anybody that opposes them. So this just seemed nice, which begs the question. What are you doing to not be a dick today?
Opposing candidates in Utah’s gubernatorial race released an ad on Tuesday that shocked and called out both parties. Republican Lieutenant Governor Spencer Cox and law professor Chris Peterson, a Democrat, appear together to call for civility among voters.
“I’m not sure this has ever been done before…but as our national political dialogue continues to decline, my opponent and I decided to try something different,” Cox tweetedTuesday. “Let’s make Utah an example to the nation.”
Today @SpencerJCox and I are releasing joint public service ads on civility in politics. Working together and the peaceful transfer of power are integral to what it means to be American. Let's reforge our national commitment to decency and democracy. #utpol #standunited pic.twitter.com/jeUJ78aVor

“We can disagree without hating each other,” Cox says in one of the ads, in which he stands next to Peterson.
“We can debate issues without degrading each other’s character,” Peterson said.
So there it is folks, sports are awesome and so is some form of civility. Nothing makes me happier than a good old sports fight, on that same note seeing fans fight in the stands is the dumbest thing in the world because no matter how loyal of a fan you are, you’re “team” isn’t posting your bail. Overall Don’t be a dick! Go Dodgers!
