A whole new approach to political conversations.
Don't let political arguments ruin your relationships.
Coming Soon
Status Quo:
We're avoiding political discussions with people we care about. We're afraid of what’s going to happen if we acknowledge that people we care about belong to a group that we think is irredeemably dangerous.
The Way Forward:
Having structured, one-on-one conversations across the political divide that leave room for messiness and mistakes made in good faith. No trolls or meandering discussions.
How it works:
Take on a new topic each week. Complete daily activities to share your opinion and understand your partner’s.
Sunday
You’ll complete a short survey each week where you can respond to quotes from academics, journalists, and politicians on one topic.
Monday - Friday
You will be paired with a partner who you disagree with on some things, and agree with on others.
Each day, you will briefly explain why you responded to an assertion the way you did, and give your partner feedback on their explanation. All subscribers will discuss the same quote on the same day. We hope that this will lead to conversations outside of the app, too.
1
Explain
Briefly explain why you agreed or disagreed with the quote of the day.
2
Respond
Let your partner know that you thought their explanation was reasonable, or tell them your concerns.
3
Review
See how your partner responded to your explanation.
Saturday
On Saturday, you and your partner will be put in a private, 1-on-1 chat.
You will receive a recap of where you agreed and disagreed, and where you were and weren’t able to take each other seriously.
