Like it or not, whether on any given day you're on the winning or losing side of the aisle, we can't talk about community without talking about the sociology of politics, as in political positions.
There is nothing intrinsically wrong with having political positions, on anything. The issue is that our most complex problems, opportunities and possibilities will not be mastered because of political positions but because we are working from the right questions at the right time. This is transpartisan politics where the right questions have more power to leverage uncertainty and complexity than the right positions.
