Rhiana Gunn-Wright is policy director for New Consensus, an organization developing and promoting the Green New Deal. America’s divisions can be blamed on a myriad of problems ranging from the bubble culture of social media to geography: north versus south, coasts versus middle America. In the end, we don’t understand one another well, possibly because we’re missing face-to-face dialogue. At Aspen Ideas, two liberals — Rhiana Gunn-Wright and Michael Green — sat down with two conservatives — David Azerrad and Chris Buskirk. With public radio’s Joshua Johnson moderating, the two sides discussed, face-to-face, the values and political issues that divide and unite us. |
