The problem with this entire “talking across difference” approach to politics is that it assumes a shared consensus about democracy that no longer exists b/w the 2 main 🇺🇸 political parties. You don’t need to have lunch with people who don’t believe in free elections, equal rights, & the rule of law.

Was thinking along similar lines when I first saw this story. The use of lethal injection -- and in previous eras electrocution -- were promoted as more humane ways of performing executions, but at a technical level they are all barbarous, prone to failure and clear violations of the 8th Amendment.
