Politics: Can We Talk?

In this conversation, we explore how we talk about politics and our hopes for improving how we do that. We share stories about what has happened around our political conversations and consider the impact this has on our relationships with friends and family. This isn’t a conversation about issues, but rather a discovery of the ways our knowledge of others’ political views impact how we decide who to relate to and at what depth we feel comfortable talking.

HERE is the conversation guide. Please pay particular attention to the questions in Round 2.
