Can You Persuade Your Angry Uncle?

A Progressive's Approach to Bridging Political Divides

Hi Warriors,

In our latest episode, we did something a little different. We invited Karin Tamerius, a progressive and founder of Smart Politics, onto the show. Now, I know what you're thinking - an outspoken progressive on Outrage Overload? But hear me out.

Karen's approach to political dialogue is all about respect and understanding, even across deep divides. We had a fascinating conversation about why she believes the current political polarization actually hurts progressives more than conservatives, and how we can all foster more productive communication. She even introduced me to her "Angry Uncle" chatbot, a tool designed to help people practice navigating tough conversations.

If you're interested in learning how to have more respectful and effective political discussions, even with those you strongly disagree with, be sure to give this episode a listen. You might be surprised by what you learn!

New This Week in Outrage Episode!

It’s everything the Outrage Overload podcast is not. It’s not edited. It’s not scripted. It’s lightly researched. It’s David and Lisa talking about this week in outrage, what was in the news, in the memes, and maybe finding some backstory with a humorous (at least to us) twist.
