<p><strong>Why:</strong> I grew up in – and recently moved to – a politically homogenous community. After a few months at More in Common, of my favorite aspects of the job is the opportunity to meaningfully study different beliefs from mine. One of the clearest lessons I have gained from this newfound exposure is that vote choice fails to capture the nuance and diversity of Americans’ political beliefs. Immigration is a clear example where voters across the aisle share a mix of both concerns and sympathies. I frankly wish all my peers knew about our research. I think it would make them a lot less judgmental.</p>"
