Dismantling Democracy
America Land of the Free
Episode 101 | 56m 42sVideo has Closed Captions
What is democracy? Who is free? Does it really matter if American democracy falls?
In the first of this three-part series, we dive into the history of democracy, its birth and the United States' unique take on this form of government. The episode takes a look at some uniquely American challenges that limit American democracy such as hyperpartisanship, negative partisanship, institutional constraints (gerrymandering, the Electoral College, voter registration) and more.
