About Consider This
Partisan commentary only serves as a means to reinforce political preconceptions. Consider This, however, is dedicated to having nuanced conversations about political issues in an effort to become informed. We are not concerned with who is right, but what is true, and aim to evaluate how we, as a society, think. We hope our content will serve as a diving board for those who wish to plunge deeper into the minutiae of our country’s political issues.
We are committed to using reliable sources. For readers who wish to prove our work, here is a compilation of fact-checking sites. Though we are not Right or Left leaning, we do not claim to be objective authors. We understand that bias is an inherent part of being human and an inescapable factor to having passionate opinions. Regardless, we—like you—seek to be informed.
“I feel like I have done my job if I can steer political debates into productive avenues. Polarization and extreme political tribalism obstruct our vision, and too often, we miss crucial aspects of current issues. I try to help people consider those overlooked yet important factors.”
“Consider This is for readers who desire a more empathetic and meaningful approach to political discourse. It is for people like me who are fascinated with how we think, reason, and interact with one another. It is ultimately for people who can fathom the vast nuances of humanity but dare to make sense of it nonetheless.”
