About this ebook
More than ever, politics seem to be driven by discord. People sitting together in pews every Sunday feel like strangers and loved ones at the dinner table feel like enemies. Toxic political dialogue, hate-filled rants on social media, and agenda-driven news stories have become the new norm. But it doesn't have to be this way.
In I Think You're Wrong (But I'm Listening), two working moms from opposite ends of the political spectrum teach us that politics don't have to divide us. Instead, we can bring the same care and respect to policy discussions that we bring to the rest of our lives.
Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers, co-hosts of Pantsuit Politics, recently named an Apple Podcasts Show of the Year, give you all of the tools you need to:
- Respect the dignity of every person
- Recognize that issues are nuanced and can't be reduced to political talking points
- Listen in order to understand
- Lead with grace and patience
Join Sarah from the left and Beth from the right as they teach you that people from opposing political perspectives truly can have calm, grace-filled conversations with one another.

Reviews for I Think You're Wrong (But I'm Listening)
20 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An amazing book about how to have more honest conversations about politics, as well as how to find common ground with friends and family who may disagree with us. It’s a must read after such a contentious 2020 election.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An open dialogue between a republican and a democrat who respect each other and are willing to find common ground. It’s disturbing to realize how rare that kind of conversation is. I appreciate the tools and tips they provide to step outside of the echo chamber and work on keeping dialogue open with people you disagree with. “Politician shouldn’t determine our positions and values, our values should determine the policies and politicians we support.”
