Break Up the Two-Party System: Lee Drutman
Manage episode 438273315 series 1994084
We discuss how two parties alone cannot represent the diversity of views in American society, how fusion voting could solve for better representation, and who exactly should get engaged in our civic lives.
His civic action toolkit recommendations are:
1. Support political parties and reforms that create more choices.
2. Be a good neighbor and participate in a local meeting.
Lee Drutman is Senior Fellow in the Political Reform program at New America, co-host of the Politics in Question podcast (a fellow Democracy Group podcast!), and author of Breaking the Two-Party Doom Loop: The Case for Multiparty Democracy in America.
