Sustaining Democracy: What We Owe to the Other Side

The book "Sustaining Democracy with Our Foes" by Robert B.

Talisse is a thought-provoking exploration of the importance of engaging with political opponents in a democratic society.

Through extensive research and insightful analysis, Talisse argues that breaking off civil interactions with those who hold different political views not only harms our relationships with them but also imperils our alliances with our political friends.

By examining the consequences of polarization and partisan identity, Talisse demonstrates how a lack of engagement can lead to homogeneous, conformist, and hierarchical coalitions that ultimately undermine our political goals. In this invaluable resource for anyone interested in maintaining a healthy democracy, Talisse offers practical advice on how to sustain democracy with our foes, rather than simply playing to win.

By engaging with those who disagree with us, we can foster more effective and inclusive coalitions that better reflect the diversity of our society.

Don't miss out on this essential read for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of democracy and its crucial role in maintaining a just and equitable society.
