Any election season can be divisive. That’s why 12 Geniuses has partnered with Starts With Us on this special podcast series, Debate Without Hate: 2024 Elections, to help you navigate the overall 2024 election. The goal of this season is not to sway your vote, but rather to help you make informed decisions when you step into the voting booth. We explore why we are divided, the threats to American democracy, the unique value of freedom and democracy, how to more effectively consume political media, the dangers of deep fakes and AI to elections, improving civil discourse on campus and in our communities, and what America needs to do to make the next 250 years of democracy possible.

Drawing from their life experiences and current work, each expert guest provides critical insight to help listeners practice better habits when confronted with election season rhetoric and discourse.
