Page 2: The Power of Discussion

You talk a lot...

Page 3: The Power of Discussion

Right?

Page 4: The Power of Discussion

The political world is made up of debates,

arguments, and conversations of all types

Page 5: The Power of Discussion

But most of the time they do

more harm than good

Page 6: The Power of Discussion

They only help to alienate, attack,

and hurt the opposing side

Page 7: The Power of Discussion

So...

Page 8: The Power of Discussion

...How do we fix

this?

Page 9: The Power of Discussion

What's the

alternative?

Conversations

Meaningful

Conversations

Page 11: The Power of Discussion

What's that?

Page 12: The Power of Discussion

It's several things...

Page 13: The Power of Discussion

First off, it's caring about

the person you're talking to

Page 14: The Power of Discussion

Secondly, it's making the

conversation productive. Make

it worth something.

Page 15: The Power of Discussion

Thirdly, don't be aggressive,

trollish, or malicious

Page 16: The Power of Discussion

See...

Page 17: The Power of Discussion

It's all about being a peer, a

friend to those you talk to

Page 18: The Power of Discussion

It's not about trying to "win"

the argument...

Page 19: The Power of Discussion

...or tearing the person down

Page 20: The Power of Discussion

A meaningful conversation

involves an aspect of

relationship building. You want

to know this person beyond

mere political views

Click to Tweet

Page 21: The Power of Discussion

Connection

Page 22: The Power of Discussion

that's what you're aiming for

Page 23: The Power of Discussion

Only through a meaningful

connection can you go beyond

politics...

Page 24: The Power of Discussion

...to a mutually respecting &

valuable relationship

Page 25: The Power of Discussion

Respect & Value arewhat you want

Respect & Value arewhat you want

Page 26: The Power of Discussion

It's what gets you results

Page 27: The Power of Discussion

It's what elevates your

discussions

Page 28: The Power of Discussion

It's what separates you from

the trolls

Page 29: The Power of Discussion

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
