My Facebook feed is equally both blue and red, split almost 50/50, filled — like many of yours perhaps — with friends from my hometown, as well as those from work, college, graduate school, and “the greater world.” Yes, we’ve been siloed. Yes, we shout to our echo chambers. Yes, we live in a politically divisive time. But I know some of these so-called undecided voters.
