In another quarantine book club, we get political with Why We’re Polarized by Ezra Klein (Marie’s pick). Join us as we discuss our (dare we say) polarizing views on this book. We have thoughts about US political history, polarization vs extremism, Mitch McConnell’s evilness, Ezra Klein’s suggestions for moving forward, criticisms of the book, and more! This month’s genre was Lynn’s pick: political.
