Communicating Across Divides with Desmond of Independent Thought

Cocktails & Capitalism

If we want to have any chance of countering the rising power of the right, we need to start healing the divides that have only deepened on the left. A big part of this is engaging in productive conversations with folks who aren't as far left but who nevertheless hold a lot of fundamental views in common. This is why I thought it would be good to dive into a discussion about how we can start to communicate across political divides.
In this episode, I speak with Desmond Price about how he has learned to have good-faith conversations with folks across the political spectrum. Desmond is the host of Independent Thought – a podcast that brings a psychologically-savvy approach to politics. Tune in to hear how he's learned to engage in political discussions that change peoples' minds.
