Fantastic article, worth reading.
I'm a big fan of Jonathan Haidt's small e-book Cant We All Disagree More Constructively. It hints at solutions to our current breakdown of productive politics.
Lot of great insights in the article on the methods, principles, and perils of civil discourse:
> You have an obligation to speak the truth even when the truth hurts. Harming your opponent, however, isn’t your goal. You’re seeking to persuade, yet you know the very act of attempting to persuade can also enrage. Yes, you should love your enemies, but you also have to understand they’re still your enemies.
> It’s imperative to read the best expression of the opposing side’s point of view. Reading only the worst (as entertaining as that can be) is inherently deceptive. It can wrongly confirm your own self-righteousness and wrongly demonize your opponent. Read the best, and you’ll not only learn, you’ll also find that your fellow citizens often share many of your core values and seek the public good with equal (or often superior) diligence.
> But humility shouldn’t be paralyzing. A person should still advocate for his or her ideas with conviction. Individual liberty and the sanctity of life, for example, are ideas worth fighting for. We can agree and acknowledge that an opponent might be brilliant and well-meaning (sometimes they’re neither, obviously), but they are still wrong. They still must be opposed.
> it’s vital to maintain a sense of proportion. Not everything is an emergency. Not everything is infuriating.
A lot more great stuff in the article.
Both sides engage in recreational outrage (it sells ads!), and constantly paint a caricature of their opponent. Not all conservatives are racists (almost none are). Hell, being against affirmative action doesn't necessarily mean someone is racist, or even a conservative. And so on.
Likewise, not every liberal is a communist (almost none are). Hell, being in favor of higher taxes on the wealthy doesn't necessarily mean someone is a socialist, or even a liberal. And so on.
