In this episode, Max Stearns explores the core problems behind America's political mess, showing how social media and our strict two-party system deepen divisions and block real progress. Stearns explains how our current voting system forces people to pick between two bad options, which only increases conflict and stops things from getting done. He presents a bold new idea to solve these issues, highlighting the urgent need for a big but possible change.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone fed up with how things are and looking for a fresh way to make our democracy work better. Tune in to discover how we can move past bitter partisanship and create a political system that truly reflects the varied interests of all Americans.
Max's book, Parliamentary America: The Least Radical Means of Radically Repairing Our Broken Democracy, is available now!
