Show Notes
We discuss deliberative polling as a way to assess the will of the people and then to make it consequential. This is what democracy is all about.
James's civic action toolkit recommendations are:
1) Question your own beliefs and assumptions
2) Learn to listen to people whom you would not normally talk to
James Fishkin is the Director of the Deliberative Democracy Lab at Stanford University and the author of Can Deliberation Cure the Ills of Democracy?
