Episode 4 - The Political Spectrum

Send us a text

At a time in our nation’s history when nearly every action, opinion, or decision is painted with the broad brush of political partisanship, it seems that our lives are split down the middle into one of two opposing directions.  Destructive though this simplification is on its own, there are fundamentally antagonistic tendencies to any system that breaks down into only two choices.

The fact of the matter is, the dualistic portrayal of political arguments is a serious problem not only for our understanding of each other’s positions, but of our own positions as well.

In this episode, I try to explore and explain a more complete view of the broad spectrum of beliefs that can be taken on political subjects beyond the unhelpful ‘left’ and ‘right’.  By better understanding the nuances of the positions we hold, it is hoped that a better and more useful dialogue can develop among those who might only view each other as opponents in today’s either/or climate.
