Description

The U.S. trails most developed countries in voter turnout. The thought that your vote doesn’t matter, or that there’s no good choice - some say that thought is manufactured or perpetuated to prevent people from exercising their power. Some say voting is not fun. Stuart and Logan discuss voter apathy, voter ho-hum, and creative solutions to election spectators.  They talk with Mark Rosenberg, aka Winkel, from The Voter Party. Inspired by the participatory culture of Burning Man, TheVoterParty.org teaches individuals how to use art, music, and costuming to get out the vote in their communities: creative canvassing, friend-banking, polling place performances, and de-escalation skills should the need arise.It’s an informative inquiry into which instrument is better to play at the polls: a ukulele, a fife (through a bullhorn), or a recorder...TheVoterParty.orgLIVE.BURNINGMAN.ORG
