Hey, guys. I hear what you’ve been saying about #wethepurple’s Thanksgivingtaking. I want you to know I get where you’re coming from, and wanted to talk about that a little bit.

Before arguing with friends or family around the Thanksgiving table, take a look at the science behind arguing better. And it'll never hurt to try this: "Listen to people, get them to think about their own experience, and highlight your common humanity." https://t.co/AZC9kpqoqx

Try to change the conversation from issues to history. What was it like during other time frames? If they remember, what was the Cold War or the Nixon era like If people just moved here, why did they come to the U.S.? Talk democracy rather than politics today.

Ok Purples, here’s your task today. Wear something purple, steer the conversation to our freedoms, and state what you feel to friends (and @mishacollins) about democracy here: https://t.co/u7s5cfQrCp. Good luck and Happy #Thanksgivingtaking
