Reimagining Democracy with Max Stearns

from The Preamble · host Sharon McMahon

Do you ever wonder what Democracy could look like in America? Many voters are familiar with this scene: You walk into a voting booth, review the options, and feel as though you’re voting between “the lesser of two evils.” You might worry that voting third-party is wasting a vote, but you don’t feel represented by the main candidates. Sound familiar? If you’re like the majority of Americans, you probably find yourself frustrated with the two-party system and a historically unproductive Congress. What if it didn’t have to be that way? Sharon is joined by law professor and author Max Stearns, to hear about another option: a Parliamentary Democracy. What would this look like, and how might Americans benefit by reimagining Democracy? Special thanks to our guest, Max Stearns, for joining us today. Host/ Executive Producer: Sharon McMahonAudio Producer: Jenny Snyder Production Coordinator: Andrea Champoux   Hosted on Acast.
