Politicians say 'I agree' to make things look good. Imagine you're playing a game with your friend, and you both want the same toy. Even if you don't like each other, you might still say you agree so that the game stays fair and fun. Politicians do something similar, they use the phrase 'I agree' to keep people happy, even when they’re actually disagreeing behind the scenes.
Examples
- A politician says 'I agree' even though they know their opponent doesn’t believe it.
- During a debate, two politicians nod and say 'We both agree on this.' But in reality, they’re thinking about how to outsmart each other later.
- A senator agrees with another senator just so the bill can pass, even if they disagree about most of the details.
