Politics, Empathy, and the Power of Listening: A Journey to the Primary
Grace and Katelyn reflect on their experience of interviewing a multitude of candidates running for state house and senate positions, totaling 374 individuals. Initially overwhelmed by the task, they came to appreciate the depth of insight and variety of perspectives gathered, highlighting the diversity within South Carolina's political landscape. Acknowledging their own preconceptions, they emphasized the importance of empathy, listening, and understanding differing viewpoints without necessarily agreeing. The conversations revealed the wide spectrum of beliefs among candidates, often diverging sharply even within the same political party or geographical area, underscoring the existence of 'bubbles' that shape people's realities and views.
