WHY DISCUSS POLITICS WITH CONSERVATIVES?

If you are progressive, you may be one of the few progressives a conservative relative, co-worker, neighbor, or friend knows or likes or trusts. If the conservatives in your life don’t hear the truth about progressives from you – whether visiting for the holidays, posting on Facebook, or chatting at the water cooler – they may form their opinions entirely based on the distorted stereotypes and misinformation found in the far-right bubble.

Bubble Busters™ the App helps you chat about politics with conservatives by giving you tons of information to prep, as well as numerous new ideas for how to chat about the issues in ways that aim to better appeal to their values and address their concerns.
