How to Talk Politics without Arguing: "I Think I'm Right, but I Could Be Wrong"

by Constantinos E. Scaros

Many other books call for a "united America." While that is a noble sentiment, it is neither realistic nor necessary. Americans, just like any other group of people throughout the world, will have differences of opinion when it comes to politics. We choose our leaders based 1) which problems are most concerning to us; and 2) which candidates we most trust to resolve them.Debates about which candidate is best are healthy and beneficial. Our downfall as a country is when one side does not understand the other, and when outside sources intensify those battles, causing us to abandon our civility, humanity, and compassion and become insulting, petty, spiteful, hateful, and cruel. To cause "unfriending" among neighbors, coworkers, friends, and even close family members!This book shows you how to talk about the political issues of our times, appreciate the perspectives different individuals and groups bring to the table, and learn how to experience intelligent, civilized, and productive political discussion without arguing.
