Divided We Stand: Understanding America’s Polarization | NPT

American democracy is struggling with deep polarization. Partisan warfare has supplanted evidence-based problem-solving, and the endless ideological conflict is overwhelming the work of politics. Join us as we explore the pressing issue of polarization and discover the vital work of The Vanderbilt Project on Unity & American Democracy. We seek to understand the root causes of political division and examine innovative solutions offered by this groundbreaking initiative. Through insightful interviews, thought-provoking analysis, and real-world examples, we shed a light on the path towards bridging divides and fostering unity. ► Subscribe to NPT’s channel: ► Watch more videos from NPT: ▬▬ About The Vanderbilt Project on Unity & American Democracy ▬▬ The Vanderbilt Project on Unity & American Democracy was established with the premise that the country has become disconnected from evidence. The project seeks to supplant ideology with fact, and reintroduce evidence into the national conversation, pointing to solutions beyond reflexive ideological claims. We explore the origins, aspirations, and impact as it bridges divides and cultivates unity. ▬▬ About NPT ▬▬ Nashville Public Television, is Middle Tennessee’s & Southern Kentucky’s local PBS station.
