Politics, in its current form, is miserable. We yell and we fight, we sever friendships and relationships, we do whatever we can to make our points heard. Yet the needle so rarely moves. People rarely move.

What if it didn't have to be that way?

With Common Ground from the Ground Up, political messaging expert Nathan Smolensky explores the mindsets and toolsets we can use to engage in more positive and more productive conversations, and how better political communication can lay a foundation for both personal growth and real societal change.

Wherever you fall on any ideological spectrum, whether you're passionately partisan or politically homeless, Common Ground can help you heal relationships strained by disagreement and division, advocate more effectively for the values you hold and the things you believe, and make some sense of both where our modern madness comes from, and how we can break free.
