sees eye to eye

Shares the perspective

To see eye to eye with someone is to agree with them, to share their perspective or opinion: We don't always see eye to eye on politics, but we respect each other.

The phrase usually appears in negative constructions—people mention it when agreement is lacking rather than when it exists.
