"The promise of democracy is that we can solve these challenges by giving people a voice in how they are governed through reasoned, honest debate that leads to compromise and - eventually - progress. My question is: where is the space for that debate in a multi-racial multi-ethnic democracy with over 300 million people who no longer share the same information?" — Jon Favreau Answer: The Village Square. #disagreebetter #listenfirst #strongertogether #civility #unitedwestand #democracy #civicengagement #civildiscourse #bridgingdivides #bethechange

Village Square 101: Of, by and for the people! The result. The hostile tone of our national debate is a predictable result of the worrisome reality that we’ve essentially formed tribes. Inside our respective echo chambers, professional yellers make seven-digit salaries fomenting fury, as they build a fundamental misunderstanding of – and contempt for – people who think differently than we do. Decades of social science research consistently demonstrates that like-minded groups grow more extreme in their views over time, even to the point where as a group they’ll believe things that are provably false. Try as we might to selectively “fact” find in order to support our most earnestly held ideologies, sooner or later the chickens of factual distortion come home to roost. Decisions made using bad facts tend to yield bad results.
