What can Seattle learn from the most politically tolerant place in the U.S.?
According to an analysis by The Atlantic magazine, Watertown, New York is the least politically prejudiced place in America.
Bill Radke spoke to Amanda Ripley about her article, "The Least Politically Prejudiced Place in America" and what we can learn from the residents of Watertown. We also spoke to former Seattle Mayoral candidate and attorney and activist Nikkita Oliver, about whether political tolerance is a value we should strive for, or whether it can be code for something else.
