TSP Ep. 33: The Disappearing Middle: Dan Schnur on Polarization, Reform, and Civic Rejuvenation

In this episode of The Sacralegis Podcast, Josh and Susan sit down with Dan Schnur, former candidate for California Secretary of State, longtime political strategist, and civic educator, to dissect the disappearance of the political middle in California and beyond. They explore how polarization has reshaped political incentives, why compromise has become a liability, and what it means for leaders trying to govern in good faith. From Proposition 50 to the top-two primary system, from independent candidates to the crisis of civic engagement in schools, Dan offers both sharp insights and cautious optimism.
