Political polarization and “the new segregation in America”
Wonder why we seem to becoming increasingly politically polarized? Wonder why everyone around you either seems to like or dislike existing political leadership?
From the Austin (Texas) American-Statesman comes a fantastic series on "the Great Divide" -- our growing geographic political isolation from each other. The series describes the emerging national phenomenon, and its impact on our politics and political conversation.
It certainly supports the League’s priority to create “common space for the common good” that allows people from different perspectives and opinions to interact and work together on issues. The political price for this segregation is troubling.
The author, Bill Bishop, wrote a fantastic series two years ago about the changing role of cities in America.
