@tzimmer_history If you want to achieve social justice goals, what viable alternative does our electoral / legislative structure allow but lowering partisan temps to the point where at least some on 'the other side' will listen to you?

Old on the planet but living in hope. But yes, including 'civil' may have been a tactical error....

Looking for the most cogent arguments in a few of the hot debates. Thanks! #polysci #politicalscience #politicalpolarization #socialpsychology
Mark RubinHurt us if you have to; just don’t help them!!
New study finds “that individuals prefer to harm their own group rather than provide even minimal support to an opposing group across polarized issues (abortion access, political party, gun rights).”
“Individuals believe that supporting an opposing group is less value-compatible than harming their own group.”
