Breaking Up the Two-Party System with Lee Drutman

How did our democracy get whittled down into two extreme parties? Lee Drutman says it’s complicated, but he’s able to break it down for us in this week’s podcast episode as he digs into the chapters and research from his book, "Breaking the Two-Party Doom Loop: The Case for Multiparty Democracy in America." He thinks there’s no going back to what used to be, but that doesn’t mean we can’t plan for a different future with multiple, diverse parties. Listen to this week’s episode to gain an understanding of how the parties divided, how it helped Trump get elected, and the innovative ways we could potentially transform what Drutman calls our antiquated election system.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
