You talk a lot...
![Page 3: The Power of Discussion](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c39fc8bb61ebe8558b4785/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Right?
![Page 4: The Power of Discussion](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c39fc8bb61ebe8558b4785/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The political world is made up of debates,
arguments, and conversations of all types
![Page 5: The Power of Discussion](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c39fc8bb61ebe8558b4785/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
But most of the time they do
more harm than good
![Page 6: The Power of Discussion](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c39fc8bb61ebe8558b4785/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
They only help to alienate, attack,
and hurt the opposing side
![Page 7: The Power of Discussion](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c39fc8bb61ebe8558b4785/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
So...
![Page 8: The Power of Discussion](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c39fc8bb61ebe8558b4785/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
...How do we fix
this?
![Page 9: The Power of Discussion](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c39fc8bb61ebe8558b4785/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What's the
alternative?
![Page 10: The Power of Discussion](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c39fc8bb61ebe8558b4785/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

What's that?
![Page 12: The Power of Discussion](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c39fc8bb61ebe8558b4785/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
It's several things...
![Page 13: The Power of Discussion](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c39fc8bb61ebe8558b4785/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
First off, it's caring about
the person you're talking to
![Page 14: The Power of Discussion](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c39fc8bb61ebe8558b4785/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Secondly, it's making the
conversation productive. Make
it worth something.
![Page 15: The Power of Discussion](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c39fc8bb61ebe8558b4785/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Thirdly, don't be aggressive,
trollish, or malicious
![Page 16: The Power of Discussion](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c39fc8bb61ebe8558b4785/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
See...

It's all about being a peer, a
friend to those you talk to
![Page 18: The Power of Discussion](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c39fc8bb61ebe8558b4785/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
It's not about trying to "win"
the argument...
![Page 19: The Power of Discussion](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c39fc8bb61ebe8558b4785/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
...or tearing the person down
![Page 20: The Power of Discussion](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c39fc8bb61ebe8558b4785/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
A meaningful conversation
involves an aspect of
relationship building. You want
to know this person beyond
mere political views

Connection
![Page 22: The Power of Discussion](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c39fc8bb61ebe8558b4785/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
that's what you're aiming for
![Page 23: The Power of Discussion](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c39fc8bb61ebe8558b4785/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Only through a meaningful
connection can you go beyond
politics...
![Page 24: The Power of Discussion](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c39fc8bb61ebe8558b4785/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
...to a mutually respecting &
valuable relationship
![Page 25: The Power of Discussion](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c39fc8bb61ebe8558b4785/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Respect & Value arewhat you want

It's what gets you results
![Page 27: The Power of Discussion](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c39fc8bb61ebe8558b4785/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
It's what elevates your
discussions
![Page 28: The Power of Discussion](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c39fc8bb61ebe8558b4785/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
It's what separates you from
the trolls
![Page 29: The Power of Discussion](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c39fc8bb61ebe8558b4785/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Arguing & trolling is no longer a viable
form of communication. You can't
reach your friends, family, &
neighbors by attacking them. You
reach them by connection,
understanding, & kindness
