We all know the country is deeply fractured right now, and that’s especially true in our politics. There is vitriol, bitter partisanship and an expectation that in order to succeed you need to beat up on your opponent. So is it possible to fight for your beliefs, remain civil and still win elections? On this episode of How To!, we brought together two politicians from either side of the aisle who are living proof that we can practice politics with humanity. <a href="https://governor.utah.gov/">Utah Governor Spencer Cox</a> and <a href="https://www.beccabalint.com/">Vermont State Senator Becca Balint</a> share how they resist negativity, meaningfully work with the other side, and stick to their values even when they are forced to stand up to their own party. If you liked this episode, check out “<a href="https://slate.com/podcasts/how-to/2021/01/how-to-get-things-done-divided-nation">How To Get Things Done in a Divided Nation with Samantha Power</a>”Do you have a problem that needs solving?
