Deliberation is the practice that holds our democracy together, but does it always lead to better decisions? When citizens only talk to like-minded citizens, the thinking gets stuck and the decisions tend to be more extreme. This presentation gives participants a chance to find new ways to think about a contentious issue by looking at the best arguments from progressives, conservatives, and libertarians on both sides of the issue. By the end of the discussion, participants will have a greater understanding of how robust disagreements can help us to foster political friendships.
