114 - How To Listen To and Understand The Other Side

Today, I spoke to Jihan Varsicco who publishes The Flipside, a political newsletter that presents left and right opinion on social and political issues. Some of the questions I asked him were:

What is the Flipside?
What was the inspiration behind it?
Where is their true bipartisanship these days?
Are we mostly divided on political lines or ideological lines? (I mean, everyone is not hard left and hard right.)
What do you do with people who treat emotions as facts?
Is the culture at The Flipside toxic with so many opposing views?
How can we unite the country in such divisive times?
What would you say is the country's most divisive issue right now?
What are some of your most popular newsletter issues?

And more...
