Let’s face it. There are times you can’t stand your neighbor’s guts. The problem is, contempt and disgust for people who think differently from you is the death knell of democracy, says writer Anand Giridharadas.

Giridharadas shares what he learned and offers some advice on how to talk to your friends — and enemies — this holiday season.
